January 4, 2013 Page 3 TASK 6. DRAFT EIR The existing scope of work includes one review and revision iteration to the Administrative EIR to respond to City comments. Also included in this task is preparation of the Notice of Availability and Notice of Completion. The existing budget for this task is $2,220 (approximately 24 hours of professional time). Based on the complexity of the EIR and level of scrutiny by City staff, we do not believe that this budget will be adequate to complete the Draft EIR for public review. Optional tasks, therefore, have been included to accommodate translation of the notices and additional hours for revising the EIR to achieve the public review Draft EIR. Optional Tasks ¦ Translation of Notice of Availability from English to Spanish - Budget: $350 ¦ Additional Administrative Draft EIR revision per City staff review comments (2"d ADEIR). at up to 60 hours professional time (50 hours for PM, 10 hours for PD) and 24 hours combined for editing and word processing. - Budget: $11,670 (based on 50 hours for Project Manager (@$135/hr) and 16 hours for Project Directors (@$180/hour) and 12 hours each word-processing and editing ($75 and $95/hour, respectively) TASK 7. ADMINISTRATIVE DRAFT FINAL EIR The approved contract includes a total budget of $26,340 for preparation of the Administrative Final EIR. Since the level of comment on the Draft EIR cannot be predicted, this amount is an estimate. Additional fees may be required if the comment level is excessive and/or additional technical analyses/modeling, new alternatives, or other time intensive revisions are required to adequately respond to the comments. We will coordinate with the City upon receipt of all comments to determine whether additional effort and fees will be required to complete the Final EIR. In addition to preparation of the Administrative Draft EIR, this task includes preparation of the following: ¦ Findings of Fact ¦ Statement of Overriding Considerations, if required Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) TASK 8. FINAL EIR We will revise the Administrative Draft EIR, Findings, Statement of Overriding Considerations and MMRP upon the City's review and comment. We have not modified the budget for this task ($8,700) which will accommodate approximately 60 hours of professional staff time. It is our assumption that only one review/revision iteration will be required. TASK 9. NOTICE OF DETERMINATION No change to this task. TASK 10. MANAGEMENT & COORDINATION Work to Complete ¦ Contract Amendment No. 1 extended the management and coordination task 10 months in comparison to the original budget for this task. At that time (February 2012), it was anticipated project approval could be achieved by the end of 2012. The current schedule anticipates project completion and approval by mid-July 2013, approximately 7 more months. The extended schedule was primarily due to expanded public outreach and project revisions and beyond the control of The Planning Center. - Additional Budget: $10,580 (approximately 2 hours/week) 25B-30
