Property Acquisitions and Relocations— Several residential and business relocations are anticipated as a result of widening Bristol Street within the limits of Phase 3 and Phase 4. Therefore, and given the passage of time since approval of the project's Final EIS/EIR in 1990, a Relocation Impact Statement will be prepared to confirm the number of residential and non-residential relocations and describe the potential and processes for relocating affected displacees. C. 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.

C;.1 MANAGEMl: NCI'.ANDA:i MJN1STR_A'I'1.0N Management and Coordination — URS has performed many successful contracts for projects that require preparation of simple to complex CEQA and NEPA 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 the project.

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. URS will coordinate with the City to conduct a kick-off meeting with Caltrans to confirm the required documentation, 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 to the City, indicating progress achieved during the respective reporting period in relation to the project schedule. One copy of the progress report will be provided to the City. 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.
