Mr. Armando Fernandez Page 3 of 4 July 23, 2014 The onus is on the Project Team to ensure the documentation submitted with the assessment demonstrates the Level of Achievement claimed. The Project Team may contact the Verifier during the Assessment for clarifications or questions on EnvisionTM like evaluation, documentation or interpreting Levels of Achievement. Psomas will notify the Verifier and ISI when the Assessment is complete. Step 3: Verification The Project Team will notify the ISI when they want to begin the Verification and will pay the Verification Fee, which is based on the dollar value of the project. The Verifier (31 party ENV SP) will review the Levels of Achievement and supporting documentation provided by the Project Team. If additional documentation is required to prove a Level of Achievement, the Verifier will request it from the project team. The Verifier lists an interim score and notifies iSI when the Verification is complete. Step 4: Authentication The ISI Authenticator will review the Verification to ensure the same standards and interpretations are applied to all projects. The Authenticator's confirmation of the Verifier's score is considered the final project score. If the Authenticator's final decision on a credit differs from the Verifier's, the Project Team will be notified to provide additional proof where documentation was not sufficient to support the Level of Achievement requested. Notification of the final score is sent to ISI, the Verifier, and the Project Team. After the notification is sent, the Verifier will contact the project team to schedule a Verification close out teleconference to discuss the final score. After the Verification close out teleconference is complete, the Project Team may request an appeals process. Otherwise, the project will move to the Recognition step. Step 5: Recognition Recognition consisting of Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum awards will be given based on the percentage of applicable points achieved. ISI Envision Fee As mentioned above, the initial ISI Application fee is $1,000. The ISI Verification fee is based on the estimated dollar value of the project. Our current engineer's estimate for the Walnut Pump Station Upgrade project is $3.9 million. For projects between $2 -5 million, the Verification fee is $8,500 for non - members and $7,000 for ISI members. Since Psomas is an ISI member, the $7,000 fee will apply. Based on a recent similar effort in submitting a project through the EnvisionTM system (South LA Wetlands Park for the City of Los Angeles), Psomas' fee for preparing the Application and Assessment will be $20,000. As a goodwill gesture to the City, Psomas is willing to contribute $5,000 of "in -kind" effort. Some effort will also be required by City staff in providing documentation during the Assessment process.
