Box 391 Redwood City, CA 94064 Dear Mr. Lyon: Mundie & Associates is pleased to submit this revised proposal to assist the City of Redwood City with a series of analyses for the proposed Peninsula Park project. This letter is based on our initial proposal, dated January 2: it contains the same discussion of our understanding of the issues to be addressed by these analyses and then outlines a scope of work we would undertake to provide information that will be useful to City decisionmakers as they consider the proposed project. The scope of work has been modified, however, to reflect the additional concerns that we have dis- cussed on the phone over the past week: specifically, the child care needs of hotel workers and strategies for providing a child care location in conjunction with the development of the proposed project. For your convenience, we have italicized the new work items. Following the revised scope of work, we have provided a revised schedule and budget for comple- tion of the work. We have taken the liberty of omitting the information about Mundie & Associates and key staff members that were included in the January 2 proposal. UNDERSTANDING OF THE ISSUES Description of the Project The proposal for Peninsula Park applies to a 33-acres site located at 650 Bair Island Road. At pre- sent, the site is occupied by a 14-acre marina basin (with no boat slips apparent on the Google Earth aerial photo), low-rise office buildings, a restaurant, surface parking lots, and some undevel- oped areas that are graded but otherwise unimproved. The proposed plan for the site would reduce the size of the marina area, with an offsetting increase in the upland -and developable -portion of the site. This upland portion would be developed with 796 housing units (condominiums), a 200-room hotel, approximately 10,000 square feet of (neighborhood-serving) retail space, a community park, and a variety of waterfront access features. Boat slips would be installed in the marina area. Rc~herta Mundie, Prcaid~ nr Suzanne Lampert, Via Pre~iJc•nt n ~lx-rra. ni a nd icCPmu nd i e.n,m suzanne.l amprrtC~mu nil ie.com
