Proposal to Provide <br />Environmental (CEQAINEPA) Consulting Services <br />can range from roughly $55,000 to $200,000. For very complex or highly controversial projects, costs <br />can exceed $200,000. <br />In reality, the scope of work for most EIR.s typically does not include all issues as the documents are <br />most often focused on several key issues of relevance to 1. the particular project. In such a case, the cost <br />for a relatively simple project may be lower. On the other hand, costs could potentially exceed the <br />high end of $200,000 for projects involving multiple phases, numerous alternatives, or expanded public <br />involvement programs that include newsletters, web page development, and other techniques. <br />5.0 FIRM EXPERIENCE AND PERSONNEL <br />This section highlights the experience of key Rincon personnel.
