The content of this proposal is based on our conversation with you on Monday, December 17, 1990, and our previous experience preparing similar environmental documents, staff reports and related materials for development projects in the City of Moorpark. As you are well aware, the Final Environmental Impact Report for the Mission Bell Plaza shopping center on Los Angeles Avenue(CPD 89-1 and 2 and LDM 89-2), the mitigation monitoring plan, staff reports, findings and conditions of approval were recently completed by our firm for the City. Impact Sciences,Inc.understands that for this project the City of Moorpark is requesting our assistance in the preparation of the required environmental documentation (i.e., the annotated Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration) as well as the preparation of the staff report(s), findings, mitigation monitoring plan and conditions of approval. Additional tasks include presentation of this project before the City's Planning Commission and City Council, the preparation of educational "white papers", as needed,and monitoring the implementation of the required mitigation measures and conditions of approval, prior to zone clearance. We understand this project would operate as a coordinated effort between Impact Sciences, Inc.,the City of Moorpark and Litton Industries. As proposed, the project includes the construction of an approximately 176,000 square foot office/industrial building within an existing light industrial subdivision (Tract No. 3492). Litton Industries would occupy the new structure as well as an existing adjacent building(144,000 square feet),which would be vacated by Litton Aero Products Division. Several levels of parking will be constructed underground. Height of the new structure will be maximum of 60 feet and at full occupancy, the structures will be occupied by approximately 1,670 employees. Entitlements must be obtained from the City by the applicant and include: (1) an Industrial-Planned Development (IPD) Permit and; (2) a Parcel Map. Our proposed work scope and projected schedule proposed for this project is found in Attachment "A" of this letter. Some overlap of tasks will most likely occur. However, based on our conversations, it is assumed that work will be initiated via an interim verbal authorization to proceed and begin on Monday,January 7,1991. Impact Sciences, Inc. will provide the services listed in Attachment "A" for a not-to- exceed budget of$19,685.00. A breakdown of the costs associated with each work task associated with this project is available upon request.
