For City <br />convenience, the revised proposal has been prepared in the form of a proposed contract <br />Exhibit "A." <br /> <br />This fatest version supersedes our May 5, 2009 version, incorporates a more definitive <br />scope and budget by Fehr & Peers, and incorporates changes requested by City staff <br />via Dan Zack's June 2, 2009 emai!. <br /> <br />The specific changes to our May 5, 2009 proposal include: <br /> <br />1. Addition of a 10 percent contingency amount to provide for possible minor <br />increases in work scope identified as necessary and authorized by City staff during the <br />course of the work; <br /> <br />2. Incorporation of a definitive transportation analysis work scope and budget for Fehr <br />& Peers. Two transportation analysis work scope and cost options were submitted to us <br />by Fehr & Peers on May 18, 2009 (and attached hereto): (1) a scope designed to <br />minimize cost by reducing the number of study intersections (six of the 42 intersections <br />studied in the 2007 DPP EIR that were projected to operate at LOS B or better would not <br />be re-studied, and up to six more intersections projected to operate at the low end of <br />LOS C would not be re-studied), with an estimated cost of $69,700; or (2) a more <br />comprehensive re-analysis of all 42 study intersections, with an estimated cost of <br />$110,000. Our attached proposal includes a "base" budget of $69,700 for option 1. In <br />the event that essential additional transportation analysis work is identified as necessary <br />and authorized by City staff during the course of the work, a specified portion of the 15 <br />pertent contingency amount described under 1 above would be allocated to fund that <br />added work. <br /> <br />3. Identification of the "Moderate Intensity" scenario as "the project." The 2007 EIR <br />provided a comparative analysis throughout the document of the environmental <br /> <br />C:\WD\PROPOSALS\0807\rev-ex-aI0807 rev ex-a. doc <br />
