EXHIBIT A M I G March 29, 2011 Ms. Maureen Riordan Senior Planner Planning Services City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road Redwood City, California 94063 RE: REQUEST FOR CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2: STANFORD IN REDWOOD CITY PRECISE PLAN EIR Dear Maureen: By this letter, Wagstaff/MIG requests a second amendment to the September 19, 2008 Agreement for Environmental Consulting Services (Wagstaff and Associates) for the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan EIR in order to add City - requested additional EIR scope of work items, described below as additional tasks A through D. As you know, the intent of this requested amendment is to permit City payment to Wagstaff/MIG for the additional four tasks. Three of the added tasks, A through C, have been authorized in increments over time by City staff, already funded by Stanford University, and already invoiced to the City. As identified below, City staff has located various proofs of funding from Stanford University for additional tasks A through C. Item D is a request for additional funds to cover a City staff- requested additional cycle of EIR review by City staff, outside counsel, and Stanford University before its release for public review. In the interest of maintaining uninterrupted progress on this complex project, we have been concentrating in recent weeks on completion of the public release Draft EIR and have deliberately refrained from preparing this request until now. A. Additional Traffic Analysis to Re- establish the Street Grid (Hexagon Transportation Consultants. Inc.) The original EIR traffic analysis by Hexagon Transportation Consultants was completed based on the project description information in the original Stanford University application to the City (May 16, 2008). The project proposed in that application depicted continuation of the existing street grid for only Warrington Avenue through the project development site. Subsequently, at City staff request, Stanford revised the site plan to add continuation of the street grid for two more streets, Hurlingame Avenue and Barron Avenue. Hexagon was authorized (via email on March 10, 2009) to revise the traffic analysis accordingly. The additional funding for the revised analysis was received by the T :110672 mr-3- 29- 11(10672).doc
