EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK The following scope of work represents the proposed work plan for execution of the tasks listed in Section IV (Scope of Work) provided in the City's RFP. The scope of work discussion included below is provided as outlined in the City's RFP for ease of reference and consistency. 1. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION Management and Coordination -URS has performed many successful contracts for projects that require preparation of simple to complex CEQA and NEP A documents and the wide range of supporting technical studies to meet, among others, Caltrans and FHWA requirements. We too are working with the City as an on-call contractor providing environmental documentation services and are very knowledgeable in the administrative procedures used by the City. We understand that early, consistent and effective communication with the stakeholders is critical to a project's success. URS will maintain ongoing communications with the City's Project Manager and other affected agencies to promote effective coordination during the course of project development. A Project Management Plan (PMP) will be created under this activity. The specific elements that are typically included in the PMP are further detailed in Section D. Meetings -Project Development Team (PDl) meetings will occur monthly for the duration of the project with all stakeholders at the City. PDT meeting agendas and associated communication will be distributed a minimum of two business days in advance. PDT meeting minutes, including disposition to previous meeting action items and new action items, will be distributed within five business days after the meeting to all attendees and invitees. As necessary, additional coordination meetings with the City and other representatives from affected agencies will be held throughout the project duration. The Consultant will hold akick-off meeting with the City and Caltrans to confirm the project scope, establish lines of communications, and establish a schedule for project coordination meetings and technical reviews. The kick-off meeting will address the start-up activities to initiate project work. Progress Reporting- Monthly progress reports will be submitted, indicating progress achieved during the reporting period in relation to the project schedule. Two copies of the progress reports will be provided to the City at least four working days before the PDT meeting. Project Schedule -Subsequent to the project kick-off meeting, a detailed project schedule will be prepared in Microsoft Project format utilizing Caltrans' Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). URS has prepared such schedules to meet Caltrans' current WBS. The project schedule will be our primary management tool to ensure that the project meets all critical milestones, is properly staffed, and stays within budget as the studies progress. Our preliminary project schedule is shown in Section D. Research and Data Collection URS will research and collect information related to the proposed project to support preparation of the environmental studies, including conducting detailed site reconnaissance and obtaining project-related reports, as-builts and record drawings; agreements, right-of--way data, and future improvements plans adjacent to or affecting the project site. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION PREPARATION Provided below is a description of the separate CEQA and NEPA compliant documents that are proposed for this project. 25H-10
