Re: Perrin Ranch EIR, Planning Services, and Municipal Services Review/Sphere of Influence
Update
Dear Mr. Hoffman
On behalf of Raney, a division of Raney Planning & Management, Inc., I am pleased to submit the
following proposal for preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and provision of planning
services for Perrin Ranch project as well as the City of Lodi Municipal Services Review and Sphere of
Influence Update. I would like to sincerely thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for the
proposed project.
As we celebrate our 20 -year anniversary, Raney is proud to have completed over 1,000 CEQA, NEPA,
Air Quality, and planning -related projects, which have provided us with the tools to complete the
CEQA/NEPA process, provide project management, and provide thorough planning support to ensure the
needs and expectations of every client are satisfied. Raney is proud to be an independent and privately -
owned small business entity in Sacramento, providing environmental, land use planning, and affordable
housing consulting services. The following proposal has been tailored on the information provided to date
for the proposed project, our familiarity with the proposed project, and experience with similar projects.
Raney firmly believes that our success is rooted in the high level of coordination and communication
between Raney, the City, the applicant team, and the community for each project. Raney intends to work
closely with the City of Lodi throughout the development and processing of the project.
For this project, I will serve as the Project Director, bringing my knowledge and familiarity with the
environmental review process, CEQA legislation, and City Planning to the table, as well as the experience
I have gained from successfully directing similar complex, large-scale EIR projects, such as the Galt
Eastview project. I will be responsible for providing planning services and overseeing preparation of the
environmental document. Nick Pappani, Vice President, will serve as the Project Manager responsible for
the day-to-day coordination of the EIR effort, including coordinating directly with City staff and the sub -
consultants. Both Nick and I are confident that Raney's highly qualified management team and associate
staff will maintain continuity and prepare a proficient, and comprehensive environmental document and
planning process.
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for your consideration. If you have any questions
regarding our scope of work, please do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to the continued
opportunity to work with you and the City of Lodi.
Sincerely,
Cindy Gnos, AICP, Senior Vice President

I. Project Understanding
Raney has developed the following proposal and scope of services to prepare an Environmental
Impact Report (EIR), perform planning services, and conduct a Sphere of Influence and
Municipal Services Review (SOI/MSR) update for the Perrin Ranch project (proposed project) in
the City of Lodi. Below, please find Raney's Project Overview and Approach to the proposed
project.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project Location/Existing Land Use
The project site contains 157.6 acres and is located to the southeast of the intersection of South
Mills Avenue and East Harney Lane, adjacent to, and south of the City limits of the City of Lodi,
within unincorporated San Joaquin County. The project is located within the City of Lodi's
Sphere of Influence (SOI) and Urban Reserve, as well as within the City's Phase 1 new growth
area, which includes properties located south of Harney Lane and north of the SOI boundary that
have been planned for residential and mixed-use development.
Currently, the proposed project site consists of actively managed agricultural land planted with
flood -irrigated corn/wheat fields. A total of 15 valley oak trees and two walnut trees are scattered
throughout the site. In addition, two irrigation ditches run from east to west across the site. The
site is generally level, and does not contain any permanent structures. A strip of undeveloped
land consisting of ruderal grasses and weedy vegetation is located along the length of the inside
edge of the site's northern boundary.
The property is bounded by Harney Lane to the north, the Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID)
canal to the east, a private dirt access road to the west, and a second irrigation canal paralleled on
either side by gravel access roads to the south.
The lands to the east and west of the project site are currently under agricultural production and
are primarily designated for residential land uses per the Lodi General Plan. In addition, such
neighboring properties include lands that have been designated Public/Quasi-Public and Open
Space. The Public/Quasi-Public designated area is planned for future development with a school,
while the Open Space -designated area is planned for development with a public park.
The adjacent properties to the north of the project site across Harney Lane are designated Low
Density Residential per the General Plan, zoned Planned Development, and are currently
developed with single-family residential homes. The adjacent property to the south of the site is
used for agricultural production and is designated Armstrong Road Agricultural Cluster Study
Area in the General Plan. The Armstrong Road Agricultural Cluster Study Area is intended to
preserve agriculture and open space, as well as maintain a clear distinction between the cities of
Lodi and Stockton. It should be noted that the land outside of the site's western boundary is
planned for a future southerly extension of South Mills Avenue.

RANEY
Project Description
The proposed project would include development of the project site with market -rate single-
family residences, active adult residences, and associated improvements, including the potential
of an off-site drainage pipe to Pixley Slough. The proposed project would consist of two main
community components separated by a planned central east/west collector road. The northern
portion of the site would include approximately 303 market -rate single-family residential lots
organized around a centrally -located four -acre park. Additionally, a 2.5 -acre mixed-use
development area is proposed in the northwestern corner of the project site along Harney Lane,
bordering a 0.30 -acre parcel containing a sewer lift/pump station. Three residential lot sizes
would be provided within the market -rate community, ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 square feet
(sf). The southern portion of the project site would be planned for approximately 405 active adult
residential units surrounding a four -acre `Recreation Center' that would serve future senior
residents. Three lot sizes would be provided within the Active Adult community, ranging from
4,590 to 6,120 sf. The Active Adult community would be gated.
The proposed project would be organized in a homogeneous grid pattern with interconnecting
blocks intended to integrate the proposed residential neighborhoods, provide a pedestrian and
bicycle friendly streetscape, and allow future residents to access the existing and future road
network surrounding the project site. Access to the market -rate community would be provided by
two new access points at Harney Lane and two access points off of the proposed east/west
collector. Access to the gated active adult community would also be provided by two new access
points off of the east/west collector, with a third access point connecting to a proposed public
east/west roadway to the south of the community.
Raney understands that the applicant is requesting approval of annexation of the 157.6 acres into
the City of Lodi (including necessary detachments). The proposed project also requires a General
Plan Amendment to reconfigure the land uses and pre -zoning of the site. Tentative Maps are not
proposed at this time but, would be processed if the City Council approves the program level
land use entitlements for the project site, and initiation of annexation processing to San Joaquin
LAFCo.
The applicant is requesting City of Lodi approval of the following project entitlements at this
time:
• Annexation Resolution;
• General Plan Amendment;
• Prezone of 157.6 acres to Planned Development (PD43); and
• Development Agreement.
APPROACH
Raney proposes to prepare an EIR to analyze the anticipated environmental effects associated
with the proposed project, as well as provide the necessary planning services to the City for the
project.
Environmental Services
Raney proposes to prepare an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) that will provide a
comprehensive analysis of the anticipated environmental effects associated with the proposed
project, including assessment of the individual and cumulative environmental effects. The Draft
EIR, Final EIR, and related work products will be prepared in accordance with the criteria,
2
RANEY
standards, and provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), Section
21000 et seq. of the Public Resources Code and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of
Regulations Section 15000 et seq.), and the regulations, requirements, and procedures of the City
of Lodi. In addition, the EIR will be prepared in order to allow San Joaquin County LAFCo's use
as a responsible agency when considering whether to approve annexation of the project site to
the City of Lodi. Raney proposes to address all CEQA topics in the EIR; therefore, this scope
does not include a separate task to prepare an Initial Study. If the City prefers to have an Initial
Study prepared to focus the content of the EIR, Raney would be available to assist the City in
preparation of the document and would propose to amend the scope of work, schedule, and
budget accordingly.
It should be noted that the following EIR chapters have been substantially drafted to date:
• Project Description;
• Aesthetics;
• Biological Resources;
• Cultural Resources;
• Geology and Soils; and
• Hazards & Hazardous Materials.
However, due to project description revisions, Raney has included the above chapters in the
scope of work in order to revise the chapters to properly reflect the updated project description,
as needed. In addition, Raney will need to complete the remaining chapters of the Administrative
Draft EIR, which include the following:
• Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions;
• Hydrology and Water Quality;
• Land Use and Planning/Agriculture;
• Noise;
• Population and Housing;
• Public Services/Recreation & Energy;
• Transportation;
• Utilities and Service Systems;
• Statutorily Required Sections; and
• Alternatives.
Raney will rely on existing information for the proposed project and the surrounding vicinity to
the greatest extent feasible, including the City of Lodi General Plan and General Plan EIR, and
the information and technical reports provided by the applicant team, as well as reports prepared
under contract with Raney, for evaluating the potential impacts associated with the proposed
project.
Technical Reports to be provided by the Applicant
For the purposes of this scope of work, Raney assumes that the applicant team will provide the
following technical reports for use in the EIR:
• Noise Analysis;
3
RANEY
• Biological Resources Report, including analysis of wetlands and updated to include
program -level Pixley Slough Analysis;
• Cultural Resources Report, updated to include program -level Pixley Slough Analysis;
• Geology/Soils Report;
• Phase I/Phase II; and
• Utility Studies, including water, sewer, and drainage.
Technical Reports to be prepared by Raney and its Consultants
Rather than conducting all of the necessary technical studies in-house, Raney believes it is more
efficient and effective to team with the known technical experts who specialize in a particular
field. In this way, Raney can organize a unique team of consultants for each project, who can
bring their expertise "to the table" and provide the client with the most defensible documentation
and reporting in the timeliest manner. Raney will utilize our extensive experience to
professionally manage the technical sub -consultants to ensure that all of the pertinent
environmental issues are addressed and that the technical report is produced within budget and
on -schedule. Raney proposes to sub -contract with the following technical consultants:
• Fehr & Peers — Traffic Impact Analysis
• Woodard & Curran — SB 610 Water Supply Assessment
The Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas analysis for the project will be prepared in-house by
Raney's Air Quality Division Manager/Air Quality Specialist, Rod Stinson, and Senior
Associate/Air Quality Technician, Angela DaRosa.
Raney assumes that any additional project information needed to facilitate the environmental
review of the project will be supplied by the City or applicant team, through the City. Raney will
remain objective and rely on the City to make the ultimate determination on the conclusions and
mitigation measures. The expectation of Raney is that we will serve as environmental consultants
to the City, and will make ourselves available to assist the City in any way necessary to facilitate
the process.
Raney firmly believes that the level of coordination between the City and the local citizens is
directly proportional to the success of the project. Raney intends to work closely with the project
team throughout the development and processing of the EIR. Raney recognizes that individuals
and groups may provide a high level of scrutiny during the CEQA process for the proposed
project. Raney has extensive experience handling such controversies. Raney operates under a
belief that some dissent and unrest regarding a new project may potentially be eliminated by the
early involvement of project stakeholders and concerned citizens. This early involvement also
provides Raney with an idea of which issues will be of greatest concern to the public. By
identifying these issues, Raney can scrutinize the environmental documents to be sure that those
issues were adequately addressed.
Planning Services
Raney proposes to provide associated planning services for the project including, processing the
planning entitlements, preparing the Municipal Services Review (MSR)/Sphere of Influence
(SOI) Update, and providing annexation application assistance. Raney will coordinate
extensively with City staff, San Joaquin County LAFCo, local service providers, and the public
throughout the SOI/MSR Update and annexation process to ensure that all LAFCo and City
4
RANEY
requirements are satisfied. Raney will act as an extension of City staff to process the planning
application for the proposed project; to prepare staff reports, notices, and conditions of
approvals; and to attend meeting and hearings, as needed.

1r- II. Technical Scope of Work
The following Technical Scope of Work identifies the necessary tasks for the provision of
planning services and preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Perrin Ranch
project. The scope of work includes an objective, approach, and associated work product for
each task and has been tailored to meet the needs of the City of Lodi and the key issues

City for review;
• Submit one (1) electronic copy of the Final NOP, in PDF format, to the City for
distribution;
• Coordinate with the City to publish, post, and distribute the NOP and deliver fifteen (15)
copies of the NOP with a completed Notice of Completion (NOC) to the State
Clearinghouse;
• Facilitate and attend one (1) public scoping meeting, as noted in Task 2.6 Attend
Meetings and Hearings;
• Create an administrative record of all written and verbal comments regarding the project
to bring together and resolve the concerns of affected federal, State, and local agencies,
as well as the local community; and
• Revise the scope of services for the EIR, if needed, based upon NOP verbal and written
comments received during the NOP comment period.
Task 1.2 Prepare Administrative Draft EIR
The objective of this task is to prepare an accurate, thorough, and complete Administrative Draft
EIR for the Perrin Ranch project. The Administrative Draft EIR will include all statutory
sections required by CEQA Sections 15120-15132. Raney will prepare an EIR that will conform
to the City of Lodi's preferred format and include all requirements for City of Lodi's use of the
document as the lead agency. Additionally, Raney will prepare the EIR to include all
requirements for LAFCo's use of the document as a responsible agency for purposes of
approving the proposed annexation.
6
RANEY
The proposed EIR will include the following sections:
1.2.1 Introduction, Executive Summary, and Project Description
The introduction will cite the provisions of CEQA to which the proposed project is subject. This
section will identify the intended uses of the EIR, agencies that may rely upon the EIR, purpose
of the EIR and statutory authority, summary of the scoping procedures, and a list of the NOP
comment letters and concerns raised in the letters.
The EIR will also include an Executive Summary Chapter, primarily consisting of a summary
table, which will include a matrix of impacts and mitigation measures, with levels of significance
of impacts before and after mitigation. The summary table will include all mitigation measures
applicable to the proposed project.
As noted in the approach, the Project Description chapter will be consistent with the one
previously drafted to date. Raney will update the project description to reflect the proposed
changes to the project, as well as the potential offsite drainage pipe improvement to Pixley
Slough.
1.2.2 Introduction to Analysis
The Introduction to Analysis section of the EIR will summarize all of the topics found to be less
than significant (with or without mitigation), as well as provide an introduction of each of the
technical chapters.
Additionally, this chapter will include a discussion whether the project would increase the risk
for wildfires or expose people and/or structures to significant wildfire risks, in accordance with
the wildfire section of the updated Appendix G checklist. It should be noted that the project site
is located out of and not near state responsibility areas or lands classified as very high fire hazard
severity zones; therefore, Raney anticipates that project impacts will be less -than -significant.
1.23 Environmental Setting, Impacts, and Mitigation Measures
The environmental analysis for the proposed project will address all mandatory CEQA topics. As
noted in the Approach, Raney anticipates that preparation of an Initial Study will not be required,
given that all CEQA topics will be addressed in the EIR. Project alternatives and statutorily
required sections will also be included. Some refinement to these issues may be required based
on the comments that will be received during the NOP scoping process.
Information will be drawn from the City of Lodi General Plan, General Plan EIR, and technical
reports prepared to date for the proposed project, as well as any other information pertinent to the
project area. Consistent with CEQA and the requirements of the City of Lodi, each
environmental chapter will include an introduction, environmental setting, regulatory setting,
method of analysis, standards of significance, identification of environmental impacts, the
development of mitigation measures and monitoring strategies, level of significance after
mitigation, cumulative impacts and mitigation measures, level of significance after mitigation
measures, significant impacts, and effects found not to be significant.
7
RANEY
Raney proposes to include the following chapters in the Perrin Ranch EIR:
a) Aesthetics
The Aesthetics chapter will describe project -specific aesthetics issues regarding the
potential for the project to substantially degrade the visual character or quality of the
site and its surroundings. Raney will revise the previously drafted Aesthetics chapter
to reflect the updated project description, as necessary.
b) Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Air Quality and GHG emissions analysis for the proposed project will be
performed in-house by Raney Planning & Management's Air Quality team, utilizing
the California Emissions Estimator Model (CaIEEMod) software program and
following the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District's (SJVAPCD) CEQA
Guidelines. The SJVAPCD's 2015 document, Guidance for Assessing and Mitigating
Air Quality Impacts provides methodologies and thresholds for use in analyzing
proposed land uses within the SJVAPCD's jurisdiction. Raney will rely on the
SJVAPCD's guidance to prepare an Air Quality and GHG analysis.
Air Quality
Raney will utilize the CaIEEMod software program and project -specific trip generation
information from Fehr & Peers to conduct a quantitative assessment of short-term (i.e.,
construction) and long-term (i.e., operational) increases of criteria air pollutant emissions
of primary concern (i.e., CO, ROG, NOX, SOX, PM2.5, and PM10) for the proposed
project. It should be noted that the construction analysis will analyze all construction
activities including on- and off-site construction improvements. For carbon monoxide,
Raney will perform CALINE 4 modeling only if one or more of the study intersections
are degraded to a level of service specified by the SJVAPCD. For the purposes of this
scope of work, Raney has assumed CALINE 4 modeling will not be necessary. The
project's cumulative contribution to regional air quality would be discussed, based in part
on the modeling conducted at the project level. The significance of air quality impacts
will be determined in comparison to SJVAPCD recommended significance thresholds.
Mitigation measures will be incorporated to reduce any significant air quality impacts,
and anticipated reductions in emissions associated with proposed mitigation measures
will be quantified. In addition, Raney will include a health impacts discussion for criteria
air pollutants, particularly any shown to exceed thresholds as required by the recent
Friant Ranch ruling.
For analysis of Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs), Raney will rely on the California Air
Resources Board "Recommendations for Siting New Sensitive Land Uses," as
outlined in the Air Quality and Land Use Handbook: A Community Health
Perspective. Raney will provide an analysis and discussion of potential health risks
associated with TACs due to the project. Raney anticipates that the project will not
trigger the need for a Health Risk Assessment (HRA) or screening -level HRA. If one
is necessary, Raney would coordinate with the City and amend the scope of work and
budget accordingly.
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Raney will work closely with the SJVAPCD throughout the preparation of the GHG
section and will rely principally on the City's adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP). In
8
RANEY
compliance with the City's adopted CAP, Raney will identify specific CAP measures
applicable to the project and discuss how the project incorporates such measures. As
needed, specific measures from the City's CAP may be incorporated into the project
by way of project -specific mitigation measures. As a matter of public disclosure,
Raney will utilize Ca1EEMod to produce an estimate of GHG emissions for the
project, including indirect emissions (e.g., electricity, natural gas). Emissions will be
expressed in units of carbon dioxide equivalents. With respect to SB 32, Raney will
coordinate with the City of Lodi and SJVAPCD to ensure comparison of the
estimated emissions to appropriate thresholds. Mitigation measures would be
identified, as appropriate, using SJVAPCD to identify feasible mitigations for GHG
emissions.
c) Biological Resources
The Biological Resources chapter will include potential effects to plant communities,
trees, wildlife, and wetlands including adverse effects on rare, endangered, candidate,
sensitive, and special -status species for the project site. Raney anticipates receiving
an updated Biological Resources Assessment (BRA) to address the changes to the
project description including, the off-site drainage pipe to Pixley Slough. Raney will
revise the previously drafted Biological Resources chapter to reflect the updated
report.
d) Cultural Resources
The Cultural Resources chapter will describe the potential effects to historical,
archaeological, and paleontological resources from potential build -out of the
proposed project. Raney anticipates receiving an updated Cultural Resources
Assessment to address the changes to the project description including, the off-site
drainage pipe to Pixley Slough. Raney will revise the previously drafted Cultural
Resources chapter to reflect the updated assessment.
e) Geology and Soils
The Geology and Soils chapter of the EIR will summarize the setting and describe the
potential effects from soil erosion, earthquakes, liquefaction, and expansive soils, as
well as identify any unique geological features within the project area defined by the
San Joaquin County General Plan. Raney will rely on the Geology/Soils Report
provided by the applicant. Raney will revise the previously drafted the Geology and
Soils chapter, as necessary, to reflect the updated project description.
f) Hazards and Hazardous Materials
The Hazards and Hazardous Materials analysis will summarize the setting and
describe any potential for existing or possible hazardous materials within the project
area or as a result of potential uses associated the proposed project. Raney will rely on
the Phase I/Phase II report to be prepared by the applicant. Raney will revise the
previously drafted Hazards and Hazardous Materials chapter, as necessary, to reflect
the updated project description.
g)
Hydrology and Water Quality
The Hydrology & Water Quality chapter will summarize setting information and
identify potential impacts on storm water drainage, flooding, groundwater, and water
quality. Raney will rely on information from the City of Lodi General Plan and
9
RANEY
associated EIR and any applicant provided reports to prepare the Hydrology and
Water Quality chapter of the EIR. Raney will coordinate with the Department of
Public Works and the City Engineer to obtain pertinent information, as well as review
ordinances related to water quality for relevant information that should be
incorporated into the project analysis.
h) Land Use and Planning/Agriculture
The Land Use and Planning section of the Land Use and Planning/Agriculture chapter
will evaluate the consistency of the proposed project with the City of Lodi's adopted
plans and policies, San Joaquin LAFCo policies, as well as compatibility with
surrounding land uses, both existing and proposed. Raney will review the City's
General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and any other appropriate documents to address
consistency issues. The chapter will identify land use impacts and mitigation
measures and note any inconsistencies or incompatibilities with adopted plans and
polices created by approval of the proposed General Plan Amendment.
The Agriculture section of the Land Use and Planning/Agriculture chapter will begin
by providing existing setting information relative to agricultural resources on the
project site. This will include reviewing maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland
Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency to determine
whether Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance
occurs on-site. The setting section will also identify the types of on-site soils,
determined through a Web Soil Survey, which will be conducted on-line by Raney,
using the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service website. Raney will also
conduct a basic LESA analysis, consistent with San Joaquin County LAFCo
requirements for annexation. Any conflicts with existing zoning for agricultural use
or Right -to -Farm ordinances applicable to the proposed project will also be identified.
In addition, the proposed project's compatibility with adjacent agricultural uses will
be addressed. Taking into consideration the quality of the existing on-site farmland,
Raney will coordinate with the City to ensure that any feasible mitigation measures
are addressed. Any agricultural mitigation will be consistent with City of Lodi and
San Joaquin County LAFCo policies.
i) Noise
The Noise chapter would identify any noise or vibration impacts due to the proposed
project. Raney anticipates receiving a noise analysis from the applicant team that
includes an evaluation of the traffic noise level increases attributable to the proposed
project. Analysis will also evaluate noise potential for sewer lift station expansion
included as part of the project. Raney will review the applicant provided noise
analysis for accuracy and adequacy and incorporate the analysis into the Noise
chapter of the EIR.
j)
Population and Housing
The Population and Housing chapter of the EIR will identify potential impacts
associated with population growth, either directly or indirectly, resulting from the
development. Raney will rely on information from the project application, California
Department of Finance, and City of Lodi Housing Element for analysis. The chapter
will include an analysis of the existing setting, identification of thresholds of
10
RANEY
significance, identification of impacts, and the development of mitigation measures
and monitoring strategies.
k) Public Services/Recreation & Energy
The Public Services/Recreation section of the Public Services/Recreation & Energy
chapter will summarize setting information and identify potential new demand for
services, including fire, police, schools, parks, and recreation. Raney will rely upon
the information from the Lodi General Plan and information obtained from direct
consultation with the appropriate City and other agencies (City of Lodi Fire
Department, Lodi School District, Lodi Police Department, etc.), as needed, to
evaluate the project's potential impacts to the City of Lodi's public services and
whether the increased demand for service associated with the proposed project would
result in significant CEQA impacts.
The Energy section of the Public Services/Recreation & Energy chapter will include a
discussion of potential energy impacts due to the project and any proposed energy
efficiency and/or conservation measures in accordance with Section 15126.4(c) and
Appendix F of the CEQA Guidelines, including applicable mitigation measures for
reducing energy consumption. This will also cover the new Energy Section of
Appendix G as those questions are based on Appendix F. Raney understands that the
main energy provider for the City of Lodi is Lodi Electric Utility. Raney will
coordinate with Lodi Electric Utility throughout the preparation of the Energy
discussion.
1) Transportation
The Transportation chapter of the EIR will address impacts associated with the
buildout of the project due to and upon estimated traffic. For use in the preparation of
the transportation and circulation section, Raney proposes to sub -contract Fehr &
Peers to provide traffic consulting services and prepare a Traffic Impact Study (see
Appendix A for complete scope). It should be noted that Fehr & Peers has initiated
work on the Traffic Impact Study. Fehr & Peers will update and finalize the study
under contract with Raney.
Fehr & Peers will update project trip generation, distribution, and assignment based
on a finalized site plan. The project's trip generation for daily, AM peak hour, school
afternoon peak hour, and PM peak hour conditions will be based on trip rates
published in the Trip Generation Manual (Institute of Transportation Engineers,
2017). Trip distribution and assignment updates will incorporate potential changes in
access points and internal circulation. Fehr & Peers will reanalyze the LOS at all
study intersections and roadways and re-evaluate whether any of the unsignalized
study intersections satisfy the peak hour volume warrant for consideration of a traffic
signal.
Fehr & Peers will analyze project impacts on the roadway, bicycle, pedestrian, and
transit systems using the significance criteria. For significant impacts, Fehr & Peers
will propose mitigation measures to lessen the significance of the impact. Fehr &
Peers will recalculate an estimate of the project -generated vehicle miles of travel
(VMT) on an average weekday under Existing Plus Project conditions.
11
RANEY
Fehr & Peers will utilize the City of Lodi travel demand model to analyze cumulative
conditions. The model was originally developed by Fehr & Peers as part of the City's
General Plan update and has since been substantially refined in 2018 as part of the
Perrin Ranch EIR project. Specific attention will be placed on the assumed quantity
of land development on parcels directly east and west of the project site and vehicular
access assumed for those properties.
The following cumulative scenarios will be analyzed:
• Cumulative No Project — assumes that the site remains undeveloped
• Cumulative Plus Project — assumes development of the proposed project
Fehr & Peers will conduct a focused analysis of how adding two easterly collector
street connections would affect nearby roadways and intersections. Fehr & Peers will
analyze the LOS at all study intersections and roadways and re-evaluate whether any
of the unsignalized study intersections satisfy the peak hour volume warrant for
consideration of a traffic signal. It will be necessary to review the City's Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) at Harney Lane Specific Plan to identify those
roadway/intersection improvements that can be reasonably assumed in place under
cumulative conditions. Fehr & Peers will analyze the roadway, bicycle, pedestrian,
and transit systems for the Cumulative No Project and Cumulative Plus Project
scenarios, identify cumulatively considerable project impacts using the significance
criteria, and propose mitigation measures where there are significant impacts. A
discussion of the project's consistency with relevant City of Lodi policies regarding
these travel modes will be provided.Fehr & Peers will prepare an estimate of the
project -generated vehicle miles of travel (VMT) on an average weekday under
Cumulative Plus Project conditions. This data will be used as inputs into other parts
of the EIR.
The project is subject to SJCOG's Regional Congestion Management Program
(CMP). According to SJCOG's website, portions of Lower Sacramento Road, State
Route 12, Harney Lane, West Lane and their intersections are included in the CMP
network. Thus, Fehr & Peers will analyze project impacts to the roadways (on a daily
basis) and intersections (during the AM and PM peak hours). Finally, Fehr & Peers
will prepare and submit an administrative draft transportation impact study for review
by the project team and City staff.
m) Utilities and Service Systems
The Utilities and Service Systems chapter will address potential new demand for
water supply, wastewater treatment, and solid waste disposal. Raney will rely on
information from the Water Supply Assessment (WSA) to be prepared by Woodard &
Curran (W&C), under contract with Raney (please see Appendix B for a complete
scope of work), as well as the City of Lodi General Plan and associated EIR. W&C
will participate in a kick-off meeting between Raney, the City, and W&C, as well as
preparation of a data request form C and review data received. Based on data received
and reviewed, W&C will complete a supply and demand assessment for the proposed
project including a 20 -year demand projection that includes water during operations
and maintenance of the project. The supply assessment will include an evaluation of
potential water supplies for the proposed project, including water from the
Mokelumne River, groundwater, and recycled water. W&C will complete a project-
12
RANEY
specific assessment including a determination of project demands and an assessment
of those demands within the context of the Supply and Demand Assessment, and will
provide conclusions regarding the long-term reliability of the supplies for the project.
W&C will compile the results of the analysis into the WSA. Raney will review the
WSA for accuracy and adequacy and incorporate the results in the Utilities and Water
Quality chapter. With respect to solid waste, the City of Lodi contracts with Waste
Management for waste and recycling/yard waste services. Raney will consult Waste
Management to obtain accurate information for the analysis. Raney will coordinate
with the City to obtain rates and WWTP capacity data and rely on the technical sewer
report provided by the applicant to assess the sewer conveyance system. For water
supply infrastructure, Raney will rely on the applicant -provided water report.
1.2.4 Statutorily Required Sections
The Statutorily Required Sections chapter of the EIR will summarize potentially significant,
unavoidable, significant irreversible, growth -inducing, and cumulative impacts. The chapter will
summarize the cumulative impacts that will be contained in each technical section and will be
qualitative in nature. Raney will coordinate with City staff and the project team to determine the
approach to the cumulative analysis.
1.2.5 Alternatives
The EIR will include an alternatives analysis. The Alternatives chapter will evaluate, at a
minimum, three alternatives, including No Project Alternative. Alternatives will be selected
when more information related to project impacts is available so the alternatives can be designed
to reduce significant project impacts. Any additional alternatives shall be developed in
consultation with the City of Lodi staff during preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR to
respond to identified significant impacts. The Alternatives chapter will describe the alternatives
and identify the environmentally superior alternative. The alternatives will be analyzed at a level
of detail less than that of the proposed project; however, the analyses will include sufficient
detail to allow a comparison of the impacts. The Alternatives chapter will also include a section
of alternatives considered but dismissed. A matrix comparing the impacts of the proposed project
to the three alternatives will also be included.
Raney will complete the following deliverables:
• Provide the public and decision -makers with a thorough, legally defensible
environmental analysis of the proposed project, which will be accurate, objective, and
free of jargon;
• Prepare an EIR that will conform to the City of Lodi's preferred format; and
• Submit one (1) electronic copy, in Microsoft Word format, of the Administrative Draft
EIR to appropriate City of Lodi staff for review of adequacy and accuracy.
Task 13 Prepare Screencheck Draft EIR
The objective of this task is to edit the Administrative Draft EIR, based on the comments
received from the City's review, to prepare a Screencheck Draft EIR. Raney assumes City
comments on the Administrative Draft EIR will be provided in a consolidated set.
13
RANEY
Raney will complete the following deliverables:
• Attend conference calls, as needed, and one working meeting with the City staff to
discuss City comments on the Administrative Draft EIR, and
• Submit one (1) electronic copy, in Microsoft Word format, of the Screencheck Draft EIR
utilizing the "strike -through — underline" format to reflect all changes made in response
to City comments.
Task 1.4 Prepare Public Review Draft LIR
The objective of this task is to edit the Screencheck Draft EIR, based on the comments received,
to prepare and distribute the Draft EIR for the 45 -day public review period in accordance with
CEQA requirements. Raney assumes that the revisions from additional comments on the
Screencheck Draft EIR will only require editorial or other non -substantive changes. Raney will
distribute the Notice of Availability (NOA) of the Draft EIR and distribute the NOA to
responsible agencies. In addition, Raney will prepare and deliver the Notice of Completion
(NOC) to the State Clearinghouse, along with fifteen (15) hard copies of the Draft EIR.
Raney will complete the following deliverables:
• Submit two (2) hard copies with the appendices on CDs adhered to the back cover and
one (1) electronic copy, PDF format, of the Draft EIR for the City Clerk;
• Prepare the NOA and NOC;
• Publish and post NOA and distribute the NOA to City's list of responsible agencies; and
• Delivery of NOC along with fifteen (15) hard copies of the Executive Summary and
fifteen (15) copies of the Draft EIR on CDs to the State Clearinghouse.
Task 1.5 Prepare Administrative Final LIR
The objective of this task is to respond to all comments received during the 45 -day public review
period and compile the comments into an Administrative Final EIR for review by the City of
Lodi. Raney assumes these comments will not raise new issues, or that new surveys or technical
studies will be required to complete adequate responses. Further, Raney assumes that the amount
and nature of responses can be addressed within the hours shown in the budget spreadsheet. For
the purposes of this scope of work, Raney's budget for this task would allow Raney to prepare
responses to up to 100 individual comments that are substantive in nature. Repetitive comments
do not count toward this total. For example, it is not uncommon for the public to submit a large
volume of comments on a particular issue/concern. In this case, Raney will prepare a master
response to address the thematic concern; and this effort would only constitute one response.
Raney's budget for this task is based upon our experience preparing Administrative Final EIR
documents for other similar projects. Should more time or technical analyses be needed to
respond to additional comment letters, Raney will initiate discussions immediately with City
staff to conduct this extra work.
Raney will complete the following deliverables:
• Meet with appropriate City staff to review all comments received and determine the
appropriate written responses to the comments;
• Include a list of persons, organizations, and agencies commenting on the EIR;
• Include all comments on the Draft EIR and any changes to the Draft EIR text necessitated
by the comments;

Administrative Final EIR; and
• Submit one (1) electronic copy, in Microsoft word format, of the Screencheck Final EIR
to the City of Lodi.
Task 1.8 Prepare Final PIR
The objective of this task is to revise the Screencheck Final EIR, based on additional comments
from City staff, in order to provide a thorough, responsive Final EIR. Raney assumes all edits
will only require editorial and other non -substantive changes in the revision of the Screencheck
Final EIR. Raney will handle distributing the Final EIR to the agencies and persons who
commented on the DEIR at least ten days prior to the EIR certification hearing.
Raney will complete the following deliverables:

Considerations (FOF/SOC), pursuant to CEQA, that incorporate information regarding the
15
RANEY
project's environmental impacts disclosed in the EIR, and prepare a Notice of Determination
(NOD) for approval by the City of Lodi, as necessary. Raney will prepare FOF/SOC to provide
the appropriate language to dismiss the project alternatives not selected, as well as language on
the overriding considerations, if necessary, to describe the benefits of the project that may
outweigh any adverse environmental effects.
Raney will complete the following deliverables:
• Submit one (1) electronic copy of the administrative draft FOF/SOC to the City staff with
the Final EIR for the City Attorney to review and provide feedback;
• Submit one (1) electronic copy of the final FOF/SOC to the City staff with the Final EIR
with revisions made based upon comments from the City Attorney; and
• Prepare a Notice of Determination (NOD) for the City filing at the San Joaquin County

TASK 3.1-3.5 SOI/MSR Update Planning Services
Task 31 Agency Coordination & Data Collection
The objective of this task is to coordinate with pertinent City departments, service providers, and
local and State agencies that may be affected by the SOI/MSR Update. Raney will coordinate
with San Joaquin County LAFCo to ensure that all requirements for the SOI/MSR Update are
met. Raney anticipates utilizing data obtained during the EIR preparation; however, if the need
for additional information arises, Raney would consult with the appropriate City departments
(e.g., Public Works) as well as local service providers and State agencies to obtain the most up-
to-date information. Raney will obtain the most up-to-date service provider maps and matrices
and identify any unique challenges to providing services in their respective service areas. In

III. Project Schedule
The following tentative schedule is based on experience preparing similar documents. This
schedule could be lengthened or shortened, depending on the needs of the City of Lodi. Raney
has the staff and resources to commit to the proposed project schedule. It should be noted that
all planning related tasks are anticipated to occur concurrently with the EIR preparation. Factors
that could lengthen or shorten the schedule include dates of receipt of project information
(including information from the applicant), AB 52 requirements, length of document reviews and
unanticipated issues arising from City staff, the project team, or public review of the
environmental documents. The schedule is the best -case scenario based on the assumption that
all reviews and technical documents are completed in a timely manner and that agency
consultation does not result in further modifications or raise new issues. Based on experience, it
is likely that the schedule may be longer.

IV. Project Budget &
Hourly Rate Schedule
The total cost for completion of the Perrin Ranch project is anticipated not -to -exceed $229,256.
The cost for preparation of the Perrin Ranch project EIR is anticipated to total $179,891. The
cost for the provision of planning services and the MSR/SOI update for the Perrin Ranch project
is anticipated to total $49,365. The Technical Scope of Services of this proposal and costs by
task are shown in the attached spreadsheet. These costs are based on the estimates of time for
each task provided in the chart on the following page. Costs will be billed on a not -to -exceed
basis, following Raney standard billing rates included in the attached spreadsheet. It should be
noted; however, as indicated below, that the cost for the preparation of the Final EIR is based
upon the receipt of a reasonable number of comments (anticipated not to exceed 100 comments)
on the Draft EIR. Should the comments be excessive or require additional technical analysis,
Raney would negotiate immediately to determine a reasonable cost for completion of the Final
EIR. The following assumptions were used in the calculations:
• Raney will attend meetings with the City staff and the project team, as well as public
hearings as described in the scope of work. Raney assumes that the number of meetings
required will be achieved within the hours allocated in the attached spreadsheet.
• Additional meetings and hearings outside of the scope of work can be easily accommodated
and would be billed on a time -and -materials basis.
• Raney costs are based on the assumption that the existing data and information for the City of
Lodi and the proposed project area is accurate and current and will be available for the
preparation of the proposed environmental documents.
• Specific amounts of time for revisions to the Screencheck Draft EIRs, Screencheck Final
EIRs, and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program have been assumed. Raney expects
that responding to comments will not exceed the budgeted time. If unanticipated comments
result in additional time beyond that which has been budgeted, those items will need to be
renegotiated.
• Raney will provide to the City of Lodi with the number of copies of the documents as
indicated in the technical scope of services. The cost estimate for copying is an estimate only
and will be billed to the City at actual cost.
• Raney assumes that once a Notice to Proceed is issued, the preparation of the environmental
documents would be a continuous process without excessive delays. Raney would propose to
renegotiate the contract with respect to schedule and cost should substantial delays occur in
the processing of one or both of the proposed projects.
• Factors that would increase the scope of work and estimated costs outlined in the proposal
include: attendance at additional meetings or hearings; printing of additional copies of reports
out of the scope of work; analysis of additional issues above those discussed in this proposal
or a more detailed level of analysis than described in this proposal; changes in the project
requiring reanalysis or rewriting of report sections; collection of data required for the
environmental documents beyond that described in this proposal; attendance at additional in-
house meetings beyond those budgeted; and excessive comments on the environmental
documents. Raney would propose to renegotiate these items, if required, or charge on a time -
and -materials basis.

Subject: Proposal for Transportation Impact Study for Perrin Ranch EIR
Dear Ms. Gnos:
Fehr & Peers is pleased to submit this proposal for services on the referenced study. Our scope of work, which is
contained in Exhibit A, is based on modifying the analysis conducted in late 2018 to incorporate a final land use
plan. This will require updating project travel characteristics, updating existing plus project and cumulative plus
project conditions, re-evaluation of internal circulation due to the new canal street crossing, and preparation of a
transportation impact study document. While we will make every attempt possible to take advantage of previous
analyses to streamline this new work, a change in the project description requires substantial new analysis, as
documented in Exhibit A.
Exhibit B contains our cost estimate. We are prepared to complete the tasks in Exhibit A on a time -and -materials
basis for a not -to -exceed amount of $33,760 (see Exhibit B for estimated cost by task). Invoices will be submitted
on a monthly basis.
We propose the following schedule for delivery of work products:
Deliverable Schedule
Traffic forecasts for air/noise Five weeks after receipt of final land use plan
Draft report Seven weeks after receipt of final land use plan
Please call if you have any questions or need additional information regarding this proposal. We look forward to
working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
FEHR & PEERS

EXHIBIT A Scope of Work
Task 1: Update Project Travel Characteristics
Fehr & Peers will update project trip generation, distribution, and assignment based on a finalized site plan. The
project's trip generation for daily, AM peak hour, school afternoon peak hour, and PM peak hour conditions will
be based on trip rates published in the Trip Generation Manual (Institute of Transportation Engineers, 2017).
Trip distribution and assignment updates will incorporate potential changes in access points and internal
circulation. The project traffic analysis zones may need to be modified in the City of Lodi travel demand model to
reflect changes in the land use plan. Project trip distribution will be updated for the three Harney Lane project
access points.
Task 2: Update Existing Plus Project Conditions
Fehr & Peers will assign project trips to the existing roadway network according to the project's updated trip
generation and distribution/assignment determined in Task 1. Fehr & Peers will reanalyze the LOS at all study
intersections and roadways and re-evaluate whether any of the unsignalized study intersections satisfy the peak
hour volume warrant for consideration of a traffic signal.
Fehr & Peers will analyze project impacts on the roadway, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit systems using the
significance criteria. For significant impacts, Fehr & Peers will propose mitigation measures to lessen the
significance of the impact. Each mitigation measure will identify the specific action necessary, responsibility for
implementation, and the expected level of significance after mitigation.
Fehr & Peers will recalculate an estimate of the project -generated vehicle miles of travel (VMT) on an average
weekday under Existing Plus Project conditions. This calculation requires use of the City's travel demand model,
California Household Travel Survey data (regarding average trip lengths) and other sources. This data will be used
as inputs to our technical analyses presented in the Draft EIR.
Task 3: Cumulative Conditions
Fehr & Peers will utilize the City of Lodi travel demand model to analyze cumulative conditions. This model was
originally developed by Fehr & Peers as part of the City's General Plan update, and has since been used by Fehr &
Peers on various other projects in the City.
The model was substantially refined in 2018 as part of the Perrin Ranch EIR project and only budget for minor
refinements is included in this scope of work. The land use and transportation network assumed in the model
under cumulative conditions was developed in 2018 in consultation with City staff, and includes reasonably
foreseeable local land development projects. Specific attention will be placed on the assumed quantity of land
development on parcels directly east and west of the project site and vehicular access assumed for those
properties.
1013 Galleria Boulevard, Suite 255 Roseville CA 95678 (916) 773-1900
www.fehrandpeers.com
FEHRPEERS
The following cumulative scenarios will be analyzed:
• Cumulative No Project — assumes that the site remains undeveloped
• Cumulative Plus Project — assumes development of the proposed project
Task 4 contains a focused analysis of how adding two easterly collector street connections would affect nearby
roadways and intersections. A complete analysis of all 16 study intersections is not needed because this
connection would not affect more remote study facilities.
Travel demand forecasts were previously developed in 2018 for the Cumulative No Project scenario. Therefore, the
cost associated with this scenario analysis reflects only hours required to complete the intersection/roadway traffic
operations analyses and to re-evaluate peak hour signal warrants at unsignalized study intersections.
Fehr & Peers will analyze the LOS at all study intersections and roadways and re-evaluate whether any of the
unsignalized study intersections satisfy the peak hour volume warrant for consideration of a traffic signal. It will be
necessary to review the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Harney Lane Specific Plan to identify those
roadway/intersection improvements that can be reasonably assumed in place under cumulative conditions.
Fehr & Peers will analyze the roadway, bicycle, pedestrian, and transit systems for the Cumulative No Project and
Cumulative Plus Project scenarios, identify cumulatively considerable project impacts using the significance
criteria, and propose mitigation measures where there are significant impacts. A discussion of the project's
consistency with relevant City of Lodi policies regarding these travel modes will be provided. Appropriate
mitigation measures will be evaluated using Synchro or SimTraffic, as appropriate. These files will be provided to
the City for review.
Fehr & Peers will prepare an estimate of the project -generated vehicle miles of travel (VMT) on an average
weekday under Cumulative Plus Project conditions. This data will be used as inputs into other parts of the EIR.
Task 4: Re -Evaluate Project Access and Internal Circulation
This task consists of the following evaluations:
• Review the spacing, permitted turning movements, lane configurations, and traffic controls required at the
three project accesses on Harney Lane. Particular focus will be placed on opportunities to provide left -
turns in and out of the project onto Harney Lane.
• Review project frontage along Harney Lane for provision of bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities.
• Estimate daily traffic volumes along north -south project internal roadways (under both existing and
cumulative plus project conditions) and identify needed traffic controls to control travel speeds.
• Identify permitted turning movements, lane configurations, and traffic controls required at the three
project accesses on the internal east -west Collector Road. Evaluate operational benefits associated with
constructing a second collector road that extends east of the project site.
1013 Galleria Boulevard, Suite 255 Roseville CA 95678 (916) 773-1900
www.fehrandpeers.com
FEHRPEERS
Fehr & Peers will develop exhibits that illustrate our recommended improvements to project access and internal
circulation.
Task 5: Regional Congestion Management Program (CMP) Analysis
The project, by virtue of being within the boundaries of the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), is
subject to SJCOG's Regional Congestion Management Program (CMP), which monitors congestion, identifies
problems, and programs funding toward projects that reduce congestion. According to SJCOG's website
(https://www.sjcog.org/371/Congestion-Management-Program-RCMP), portions of Lower Sacramento Road, State
Route 12, Harney Lane, West Lane and their intersections are included in the CMP network.
CMP analyses for individual projects require analysis of CMP facilities. SJCOG often issues comment letters on
EIRs requesting these analyses be performed. Thus, Fehr & Peers will analyze project impacts to the roadways (on
a daily basis) and intersections (during the AM and PM peak hours). Fortunately, much of the needed traffic data
will already be available to conduct this analysis from prior tasks and prior 2018 project work. However, analysis
methods and significance criteria differ somewhat.
Task 6: Alternatives Analysis
Fehr & Peers will calculate the trip generation of up to two (2) different alternatives to the proposed project.
Based on the difference in trips compared to the proposed project, Fehr & Peers will assess whether impacts for
each alternative would be reduced, similar, or greater than those of the proposed project. If a more thorough
review of one or more project alternatives is deemed necessary, a supplemental scope of work will be submitted.
Task 7: Documentation
Fehr & Peers will prepare and submit an administrative draft transportation impact study for review by the project
team and City staff. Fehr & Peers has budgeted 12 hours of staff time to respond to comments on the
administrative draft study and submit a draft study. This task also includes preparation of the administrative
record, which includes all materials relied upon for our analysis.
Fehr & Peers will provide written responses to transportation -related comments on the Draft EIR. We have
budgeted to spend up to 16 hours on this task. If responses require more time than has been budgeted or an in-
depth quantitative technical response, a supplemental scope of work will be submitted.
Task 8: Meeting Attendance
Fehr & Peers will attend up to four meetings during the course of the study. These could include progress
meetings with the project team and City staff, and public hearings (i.e., Planning Commission and City Council).
Fehr & Peers will also be available to participate in conference calls over the course of the study.

Thank you for the opportunity to submit this letter proposal to support Raney Planning
& Management and the City of Lodi in the preparation of a Water Supply Assessment
(WSA) for the proposed Perrin Ranch Development Project. Woodard & Curran
(W&C), formerly RMC Water and Environment, offers a highly qualified team for
development of a WSA. We have extensive experience in supply and demand
assessments for Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs), water supply planning
documents, and a variety of other water and master planning projects.
The proposed Perrin Ranch Development is located in the City of Lodi at roughly 1890
East Harney Lane. The project would develop area currently being used for
agricultural production into over 700 housing units, a 2.5 -acre mixed use area, a 4 -
acre park, a 4 -acre recreation center, and a 4 -acre stormwater detention basin. The
development would also include a new wastewater pump station, storm drain pump
station, and a pedestrian corridor.
Pursuant to California Senate Bill 610 (SB 610), the City of Lodi, as the CEQA lead
agency, must prepare a WSA for the proposed project. SB 610 took effect in 2002 in
order to encourage cooperation between CEQA lead agencies and water suppliers for
new development projects. Per State regulations, the WSA must include demand
projections for the project for the next 20 years and an evaluation of available water
supplies during normal, single dry, and multiple dry water years for the projected
development period. Supply documentation must include detailed descriptions of each
supply source and whether the project will receive the water from a water supply
entitlement, a water right, or a water service contract. Finally, the projected water
supply must be compared to the projected water demand to determine water supply
reliability.
Our proposed scope and fee to develop a SB610 compliant WSA for the Perrin Ranch
Development project are described below.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Woodard & Curran will assist Raney Planning & Management and the City of Lodi in
preparing a Water Supply Assessment to accompany the CEQA document for the
proposed Perrin Ranch Development project. The scope of services to be provided to
prepare this WSA is presented below.

Task 1: Project Management and Data Review
W&C will prepare monthly invoices and progress reports and will provide continued
coordination with Raney Planning & Management and the City of Lodi. This task also
includes a kick-off meeting between Raney, the City, and W&C, as well as preparation
of a data request and review data received.
Deliverables
• Monthly invoices and progress reports
• Data request
Assumptions
• The kick-off meeting will occur in person or via teleconference. Any
subsequent meetings will occur via teleconference.
Task 2: Supply and Demand Assessment
Based on data received and reviewed, W&C will complete a supply and demand
assessment for the proposed project. The demand assessment will include a 20 -year
demand projection that includes water used during operations and maintenance of the
project. The supply assessment will include an evaluation of potential water supplies
for the proposed project, including water from the Mokelumne River, groundwater, and
recycled water.
At this time, a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) is being prepared for the East
San Joaquin Groundwater Basin in compliance with provisions of the Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). As required by SGMA, the GSP will identify
the sustainable yield of the groundwater basin and will evaluate the potential for future
groundwater withdrawals. At present, the status of the GSP is not known; resulting
provisions of the GSP will directly impact the supply assessment for the WSA. To this
end, we will endeavor to obtain information regarding the most current anticipated
planning relative to future groundwater extractions, but if this information is not
available, specific assumptions will be developed and documented in order to
conclude the WSA in a timely manner.
Deliverables
• None; the Supply and Demand Assessment will be included in the Water
Supply Assessment Report
Assumptions
• Data sources for the Supply and Demand Assessment will include data
provided by the City of Lodi and Raney Planning & Management, and the City's
2015 Urban Water Management Plan
Task 3: Project -Specific Assessment
W&C will complete a project -specific assessment for the Perrin Ranch Development
project. This assessment will include a determination of project demands and an
assessment of those demands within the context of the Supply and Demand
Assessment, and will provide conclusions regarding the long-term reliability of
supplies for the proposed project.

Deliverables
• None; Project -Specific Assessment will be included in the Water Supply
Assessment Report
Assumptions
• Data sources for Project -Specific Assessment will include data provided by the
City of Lodi and Raney Planning & Management.
Task 4: Water Supply Assessment Report
W&C will use the information developed as part of Tasks 2 and 3 to draft a Water
Supply Assessment Report. The Report will include the following sections:
I. Introduction
II. Supply and Demand Conditions
III. Project -Specific Assessment
IV. Conclusions and Recommendations
V. References
This task assumes two review cycles of the draft WSA: one by Raney Planning &
Management and one by the City of Lodi. W&C will submit an Administrative Draft
Water Supply Assessment Report to Raney Planning & Management to review.
W&C will then incorporate comments received into the report and will submit a
subsequent Draft Water Supply Assessment Report to City of Lodi. W&C will
incorporate the City's comments into the report to prepare and submit a Final Water
Supply Assessment Report.
Deliverables
• Administrative Draft Water Supply Assessment Report
• Draft Water Supply Assessment Report
• Final Water Supply Assessment Report
Assumptions
• The Administrative Draft and Draft Water Supply Assessment Reports will be
submitted for review as one document and not as individual sections.
• Raney Planning & Management and the City of Lodi will each provide one set
of consolidated comments.
• Draft and Final Water Supply Assessment Reports will be submitted to the City
as electronic files (Word and PDF).
BUDGET
Our proposed fee to assist Raney Planning & Management and the City of Lodi in
preparing the Water Supply Assessment is a not -to -exceed amount of $37,000. A
detailed fee estimate is provided in Exhibit A. The cost for the proposed work will be
on a time -and -materials basis.
We look forward to the opportunity to work with you and the City of Lodi. If you have
any questions on our proposal or need any additional information, please do not
hesitate to let me know.
