rns Assessment). The CIA will assess the Project's potential to impact the character and cohesion of the surrounding community and measures, as warranted, to offset those impacts. Task 3. Preparation of Separate Studies for Each Phase 3 and 4 URS' original Scope of Work assumed that each technical study and CEQA and NEPA document would cover both Project Phases. However, because Phases 3 and 4 of the Project are geographically separated and not dependent on each other to operate as intended, Caltrans may ultimately require preparation of separate technical studies and requisite CEQA (i.e., Addendum) and NEPA (Re - Validation) documentation for each respective Project Phase. Likewise, the City may find it beneficial to prepare separate studies for each Phase of the Project such that an unforeseen delay on one Phase does not also delay processing and approval of the other Phase. URS will, to the extent possible, prepare studies for each Phase in parallel so as to realize efficiencies in effort. This will include, but not necessarily be limited to, conducting background research and fieldwork for each study simultaneously. It is anticipated that the same lead technical staff member from URS would author the same study for both Phases of the Project so as to maintain reporting consistency and to realize efficiencies in effort. Task 4. Preparation of Additional Traffic Analyses for Each Phase 3 and 4 URS has been directed to perform out -of -scope traffic analyses not otherwise included in our originally submitted proposal. This includes performing a traffic signal synchronization analysis for both Phases 3 and 4 using Caltrans' Highway Capacity Manual methodology; this analysis will be included in memorandum report format and appended to each Phase's respective Traffic Impact Analysis. Caltrans has also directed URS to include the Bristol Street/Edinger intersection as part of the Phase 4 Traffic Impact Analysis; URS did not anticipate needing to perform an analysis for this particular intersection as part of it's originally approved scope of work for this project. The total fee proposal, including the tasks described above for Addendum No. 1, is $235,815.00; this represents an increase of $65,530.00 above the originally submitted fee proposal. The detailed fee proposal is enclosed for your reference. As you will see, the bulk of the additional work would be incurred as a result of preparing separates technical studies and CEQA and NEPA documents for each respective phase of the Project.
