ESTIMATED COST Ascent proposes to complete the scope of work identified above for an estimated not -to -exceed fee of $109,035. A summary by task is provided below with additional line -item detail and labor hours in the attached spreadsheet (Attachment A). TASK Task 1. Project Initiation/Kickoff ESTIMATED FEE $3,870 Task 2. Peer Review of Applicant -Prepared Initial Study, Draft EIR and Technical Studies $49,495 Task 3. Peer Review of Final EIR $17,640 Task 4. Project Management and Meetings $25,340 Direct Expenses (including subconsultant fees) $12,690 Total $109,035 Cost Assumptions The proposed estimated price is presented above. To promote clarity, the following assumptions explain the basis of the proposed price. The price is estimated based on a good -faith, current understanding of the project. If selected, Ascent is interested in discussing the City's needs and revising the scope of work and price, as warranted, to meet expectations. • Proposed Price Validity. The price proposed to carry out the scope of work is valid for 120 days from the date of submittal, after which it may be subject to revision. • Time -and -Materials Cost. The proposal is a not -to -exceed price to perform the proposed scope of work. Monthly invoices will be submitted based on a time -and -materials basis occurring in each billing period. • Price and Staff Allocation to Tasks. Labor and other direct costs have been allocated to tasks to determine the total budget. Ascent may reallocate costs and labor resources, as needed, as long as the total contract price is not exceeded. • Meetings and Conference Calls. The number and duration of proposed meetings and conference calls are specified. If they are exceeded, a budget augmentation may be warranted. • Scope of Analysis. The price is based on the proposed scope of analysis. If new technical issues, alternatives, field surveys, modeling, or analysis is identified after contract execution, a budget amendment may be warranted. • Review of Modeling Outputs. Ascent will conduct a cursory review of modeling appendices for consistency (if provided); however, this scope does not include detailed review or investigations into the modeling software or outputs. • Responses to Comments. It is difficult to predict the number and magnitude of comments received on the Draft EIR; however, we have assumed a budget of up to 40 hours to peer review responses to comments. Once all Final EIR files are received, we will provide an estimate on the level of effort required to complete the peer review of responses to comments. Any discrepancies with the original budget will be discussed with the City and may require a budget augment. CITY OF SANTA ANA II CEOA SERVICES FOR THE VILLAGE SANTA ANA SPECIFIC PLAN 13
