Box 1988 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br />Exhibit A to Side Letter 4 <br />Agreement # A-2020-241-33 <br />® PLACEWORKS <br />Subject: Proposal to Prepare a Peer Review of the Fiscal Impact Analysis and Economic Benefit Analysis <br />for Metro East Townhomes <br />Dear Ali Pezeshkpour: <br />Please accept this letter as PlaceWorks' proposal to conduct a peer review of the Fiscal Impact Analysis and <br />Economic Benefit Analysis for Metro East Townhomes ("project analysis'). We have checked the report; it <br />appears to be fairly straightforward following recognized industry practices, so we do not anticipate <br />challenges to providing a peer review in an expedited manner. <br />PlaceWorks will review the methodology, data source, analysis, and conclusions used in the project analysis <br />relative to standard industry practices. We will describe our review and findings in a written report (to be <br />submitted in a digital format) and include our assessment as to whether the project analysis fairly represents <br />the likely economic and fiscal benefits the project would generate. <br />We will submit a draft review within three business days of receiving a notice to proceed. We will review the <br />draft report in an online meeting or phone call with City staff. Based on any comments and direction from <br />the review meeting, we will finalize our report. <br />Our fee to conduct the peer review is $2,880. We do not anticipate any direct costs or reimbursable expenses <br />for the peer review. Any additional meetings would be billed on a time and materials basis. Each additional <br />round of review in responses to changes/resubmittals by the applicant, if any, would require an additional <br />fee of up to $1,920. <br />This proposal shall remain valid for 90 days from the date of submittal. As Chief Economist and an Associate <br />Principal with PlaceWorks, I am authorized to bind the team to the contents of this submittal and to negotiate <br />contracts on behalf of PlaceWorks. Please contact me with any questions at 714.966-9220 x2374 or <br />sgunnells@placeworks.com. <br />We look forward to your response. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />PLACEWORKS <br />teve Gunnells <br />Chief Economist <br />3 MacArthur Place, Suite 1100 1 Santa Ana, California 92707 1 714.966.9220 1 PlaceWorks.com <br />
