The Consultant assumes the City will lead the NEPA and SEPA interagency coordination, but the <br /> Consultant will prepare all required forms, mapping, exhibits and documentation. <br /> Consultant Deliverables <br /> • Draft NEPA and SEPA responses based on the preferred alternative <br /> Task 1-6 — Public and Stakeholder Involvement <br /> The Consultant understands that the City will lead the public and stakeholder outreach. The Consultant <br /> will provide material support for the outreach and deliver a"turn key" outreach program and materials for <br /> the City to prepare and present to stakeholders. AcutanzaSTS (a DBE firm)will be a partner in the <br /> development and preparation of stakeholder involvement programs and materials and is described in the <br /> supplemental attachment to this Scope, Attachment A-1: Public& Stakeholder Engagement and <br /> Community Outreach. Outreach scope elements, described in more detail in the attachment, include: <br /> • A branding concept for the project <br /> • Assistance with development of a stakeholder list based on information provided by the City <br /> • A project mailing list <br /> • A project website <br /> • A project briefing kit <br /> The City will arrange for and provide the invitations for a stakeholder kickoff meeting. The Consultant and <br /> AcutanzaSTS will assist the City with preparing materials for the kickoff meeting and attend the meeting, <br /> assumed to be a virtual meeting based on current public health guidance, to support the City. The goal of <br /> the stakeholder kickoff meeting will be to gain consensus on a project vision, present the plans for future <br /> stakeholder engagement, and identify any early concerns that should be incorporated into the <br /> development of alternatives and evaluation to identify a preferred alternative. <br /> Engagement with WSDOT and the teams developing the US 2 interchange planning projects will be <br /> included in the stakeholder involvement task. The City will lead the outreach, with the Consultant and <br /> AcutanzaSTS providing meeting preparation support and attendance. Meetings with WSDOT may be <br /> combined with other stakeholder outreach at the City's discretion. <br /> A second stakeholder meeting is anticipated following the development of alternatives and selection of a <br /> preferred alternative, but prior to advancement to 30% design (Task 1-5). The second stakeholder <br /> meeting is intended to include a wider range of the public, including residents along the corridor, those <br /> experiencing homelessness who may be affected by changes in the corridor, as well as stakeholders <br /> identified for the initial outreach meeting. The second meeting may be a multi-day process and is <br /> anticipated to include in-person field exercises. The second stakeholder meeting may include <br /> demonstration projects, corridor walks, and other in-person public engagement. The goal of the second <br /> meeting is to revisit project progress with the stakeholders and confirm incorporation of their concerns, <br /> but to also engage the public and gather feedback on the project progress so far. The Consultant's <br /> supporting materials for the second stakeholder meeting will emphasize that the project design is not"set" <br /> and further public input is welcome and may be incorporated where feasible. <br /> A third stakeholder meeting will be conducted at the City's Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) <br /> meeting. Consultant support for this meeting is anticipated to include any exhibits prepared for the <br /> previous meetings as well as a summary of stakeholder and public feedback provided during the previous <br /> meetings. The Consultant is not expected to attend the TAC meeting. <br /> The Consultant will support the City project manager in preparing for, including preparation of exhibits, <br /> presentations and handouts, City Council and TAC updates, as required. <br /> transpo r Page 7 <br />
