Box 391 <br />Redwood City, CA 94064 <br /> <br />CITY OF REDWOOD CITY <br />PLANNING SERVICES <br /> <br />RE: Sequoia Hospital Campus/Precise Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR}-Contract <br />Amendment #2 <br /> <br />Dear Maureen: <br /> <br />The purpose of this letter is to request a contract amendment to cover additional work related to <br />completion of the Draft EIR. Weare hereby requesting an increase to our total contract budget <br />of$14,000 (from a total of$190,213 to $204,213). <br /> <br />These funds would cover additional work required revising the transportation section, proposed <br />parking, and landscape mitigation prior to circulation of the Draft EIR. Additional coordination <br />with City staff and the project applicant's team was also required to complete revisions to the <br />Administrative Draft EIR and an amendment to the Draft EIR. An amendment to the Draft EIR <br />was also prepared. This contract amendment does not include any additional work by technical <br />I <br />subconsultants. <br /> <br />Preparation of the Draft EIR required substantially more time and effort than was contemplated <br />when we prepared our original scope of services in October 2004, and the first amendment to the <br />contract in September 2006. Additional meetings, phone calls, and written communications <br />were required to move the environmental review for this project forward. Due to the extra work <br />that was required to complete the Draft ElR, budget that was allocated to prepare the Final EIR <br />has already been used. <br /> <br />As of March 30, 2007, $10,939 remains in our contract for work to be completed. Although the <br />comment period on the Draft EIR has not ended, we estimate that approximately $24,000 will be <br />required for work on the amendment to the Draft EIR, ongoing coordination, and to complete <br />responses to comments and print and distribute the Final ElR. We are requesting a budget <br />amendment at this time to avoid delays in completing the Final EIR. As with our existing <br />agreement, this work will be done on a time and materials basis, commensurate with work <br />completed. In the event fewer hours are required to complete the Final EIR than we have <br />projected, we will only bill for the actual time spent to complete the work. All other provisions <br />of our existing contract will continue to apply. <br /> <br />I In the event additional technical work is required to respond to comments on the Draft EIR or to reflect project <br />changes, such work would be completed on a time and materials basis, upon your authorization. <br /> <br />Environmental Consultants & Planners <br />1885 The Alameda' Suite 204 .
