modeling appendices for consistency with the technical study conclusions (if provided). However, this scope does not include detailed review or investigations into the modeling software or outputs (should this level of effort be desired, we would welcome a discussion on the fee and schedule implications and any augments that may be necessary). Where discrepancies in the analysis are found, we will raise those deficiencies early in the process and offer solutions for the applicant and its team to resolve the issues. We will document comments and critiques through comment features in MS Word or Adobe Acrobat. Any required revisions will be completed by the applicant and resubmitted. Ascent will participate in one meeting with the City (and if desired, the applicant's team) to discuss review comments. Deliverables Initial peer review comments, critiques, advice on solutions for the exemption documentation and the technical studies to be provided electronically in MS Word or Adobe PDF e Attendance at one meeting (assumed to be virtual) by up to three Ascent staff Task 3: Backcheck Peer Review of CEQA Exemption and Technical Analyses Following any revisions that may be necessary, we will conduct a second review to determine if comments have been adequately addressed by the applicant's team. We assume that all documentation and data will be adequate and internally consistent after the revised submittals. Deliverables Backcheck review comments, critiques, advice on solutions for the Initial Study, Draft EIR, and technical studies to be provided electronically in MS Word or Adobe PDF Task 4: Project Management and Meetings The Ascent project management team will devote effort each week to ensure an efficient and timely process for project execution. We will develop a mutually agreeable schedule prior to the kickoff meeting and will maintain and update the schedule throughout the environmental review process. Our project manager will track the critical path and inform the City of critical milestones that may be at risk. Other typical tasks would include cost tracking, budget management, participation in conference/video-call meetings, and unscheduled phone calls and email communication, as needed. We understand the City may desire to establish regular meetings. We have budgeted for participation in up to two additional conference -call meetings (two team members at 1 hour each), separate from the meeting in Task 2. Ascent can also be available to support the City during public meetings. We have not included this in our budget but will gladly add this at the City's request for an additional fee. Deliverables • Participation in up to two virtual meetings • Schedule updates, as needed • Monthly progress reports Ascent proposes to complete the initial peer review of the CEQA Class 32 Exemption documentation and technical studies within 2 weeks from receipt of complete documents. In addition, we propose to complete the backcheck second peer review within 1 week of receiving the revised documents.
