SCOPE OF WORK The following Scope of Work is proposed by Urban Crossroads, Inc. for this study effort: Existina Conditions 1. Identify the existing air quality setting in the area. 2..Obtain existing air quality data from air quality monitoring stations within the study area utilizing SCAQMD data sources. Sources of data will be identified as part of the air quality impact report. Data will be obtained for air pollutants, including ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, PM 10 & PM 2.5. 3. Identify applicable rules, plans and thresholds of significance. 4. Prepare a micro scale CO screening analysis of existing conditions at up to 6 "key intersections" located in the City of La Quinta in accordance with the SCAQMD requirements as described in their CEQA Air Qualfty Handbook. 41 Corporate Park Suite 300 Irvine, CA 92606 p;949.660.9 994 f:949.660,1911 urban xroads.corn 06/04/2004 06:31 7148361748 RSG PAGE 12 0 Is Mr. George Britton ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP INC.

Urban Crossroads, Inc. will develop air quality recommendations for the project. 6. Evaluate emissions associated with construction activities related to the project. 7. Prepare a micro scale CO screening analysis of future conditions for each future scenario evaluated in the traffic study at up to 6 "key intersections" located in the City of La Quinta in accordance with the SCAQMD requirements as described in their CEQA Air Quality Handbook. Air Quality Report 8. An air quality report will be prepared documenting the results of the study. The report will summarize the results of the previous work tasks. PROFESSIONAL FEES The fee for the work outlined in this proposal is based upon an overall budget of $5,400.00 which will not be exceeded without prior written approval by the client.
