Prepare and reproduce the Administrative Final EIR for submittal to the County for a final proof-check review prior to distribution to the public. Because it is difficult to predict the volume of comments that will be submitted on the Draft EIR or the degree of controversy that the project will generate, the level of effort required to prepare responses to the comments cannot be estimated with accuracy. For purposes of this scope of work, a budget equivalent to approximately 150 hours of professional time has been allocated to the preparation of the Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) (described below). If currently unforeseen efforts are required beyond this allocation, additional budget may be required. 1.7: Prepare Final EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program MBA will revise the Final EIR based on any final comments received by County staff. MBA will proceed as outlined below: 1. Produce 100 hard copies, including one, unbound "camera ready" copy, and ten (10) digital compact disc, web-supportable format copies of the Draft EIR,. 2. Responses to comments on the Draft EIR will be distributed by MBA via certified mail either as a hard copy or a CD to all persons and agencies that commented on the Draft EIR. As part of the EIR preparation effort, a comprehensive Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) will be prepared for the project pursuant to Section 21081.6 of the Public Resources Code. MBA will coordinate with the County in designing the monitoring and reporting program. The program will list mitigation measures specified in the EIR, identify the parties responsible, and indicate the time frame for implementation of monitoring for each mitigation measure.
