August 13, 2010 Sours Am Irani City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency, Office of the Executive Director 20 Civic Center Plaza -• Ross Annex (M-36), 3`1 Floor Santa Ana, California 92701 Re: Proposed Scope of Work and Fee for Bristol Street Specific Plan Amendment, Related General Plan Amendment and Environmental Documentation - Revisal No. 2 Dear Ms. Amlranl: URS Corporation Americas (URS) is pleased to submit the following scope of work and fee proposal to the City of Santa Ana (City) for the above -referenced request. We are fully prepared to leverage our skills and experience with our current efforts of preparing the environmental documents for the City's planned widening of Bristof Street between Civic Center Drive and Seventeenth Street ("Phase 3') and Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place ("Phase 4"). Our on -going work on the street widening project will assist in our efforts to prepare a Specific Plan Amendment (SPA) for the Bristol Street Specific Plan, as well as the related General Plan Amendment (GPA) and necessary environmental documentation needed for the SPA and GPA. As discussed in our meeting on Wednesday, June 23, 2010, we understand the City wishes to amend the current Bristol Street Specific Plan to accommodate remnant land acquired by the City as a result of the widening of Bristol Street. We further understand that it Is the City's Intent to change the current Specific Plan and General Plan land use designations on these identified parcels to allow commercial uses similar to, or consistent with, the City's 'Arterial Commercial Zoning District' (or C•5) zoning designation. The parcels are currently zoned for linear parks/open space in the Specific Plan document ('Park' or O - Open Space), and also have a current General Plan designation of Open Space, as verified in our meeting by Karen Haluza of the Planning Department. Based upon our review of the detailed parcel Information, as well as review of environmental documentation information provided by the City from the original Specific Plan's approval, we have prepared a detailed Scope of Work for the efforts we anticipate to prepare the SPA, GPA, and associated environmental documentation, A proposed project schedule and fee proposal Is also provided as part of this proposal. We took forward to working on this exciting project with the City, if you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact Court Morgan at (714) 433-7603, or Virginia Viado, who will be assisting Mr. Morgan with this effort, at (909) 980-4000.
