March 29, 2011 <br />Ms. Maureen Riordan <br />Senior Planner <br />Planning Services <br />City of Redwood City <br />1017 Middlefield Road <br />Redwood City, California 94063 <br />RE: REQUEST FOR CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 2: STANFORD IN <br />REDWOOD CITY PRECISE PLAN EIR <br />Dear Maureen: <br />By this letter, Wagstaff /MIG requests a second amendment to the September 19, 2008 <br />Agreement for Environmental Consulting Services (Wagstaff and Associates) for the <br />Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan EIR in order to add City- requested additional EIR <br />scope of work items, described below as additional tasks A through D. <br />As you know, the intent of this requested amendment is to permit City payment to <br />Wagstaff /MIG for the additional four tasks. Three of the added tasks, A through C, have <br />been authorized in increments over time by City staff, already funded by Stanford <br />University, and already invoiced to the City. As identified below, City staff has located <br />various proofs of funding from Stanford University for additional tasks A through C. Item <br />D is a request for additional funds to cover a City staff - requested additional cycle of EIR <br />review by City staff, outside counsel, and Stanford University before its release for public <br />review. <br />In the interest of maintaining uninterrupted progress on this complex project, we have <br />been concentrating in recent weeks on completion of the public release Draft EIR and <br />have deliberately refrained from preparing this request until now. <br />A. Additional Traffic Analysis to Re- establish the Street Grid (Hexagon <br />Transportation Consultants, Inc.) <br />The original EIR traffic analysis by Hexagon Transportation Consultants was completed <br />based on the project description information in the original Stanford University <br />application to the City (May 16, 2008). The project proposed in that application depicted <br />continuation of the existing street grid for only Warrington Avenue through the project <br />development site. Subsequently, at City staff request, Stanford revised the site plan to <br />add continuation of the street grid for two more streets, Hurlingame Avenue and Barron <br />Avenue. Hexagon was authorized (via email on March 10, 2009) to revise the traffic <br />analysis accordingly. The additional funding for - the revised analysis was received by the <br />T.• 1106721 mr- 3- 29- 11(10672). doc <br />
