Pat Webb March 15, 2001 Page 2 2. Invoice C214X-02 This invoice covers the out-of-the-ordinary expenses that were incurred late in the DEtR preparation period, during the public review period, and in connection with the public hearings. These beyond scope costs began to accumulate in the third quarter of last year. We wrote you a memo dated October 13 summarizing beyond-scope costs up to that time, and in our invoice of November 10, 2000 we billed for those costs through October 29. That invoice - C214X-01 in the amount of $25,726.43 - included beyond-scope costs for Fehr & Peers of $16,558.83 summarized at thetime in a separate memo from that office. No payment has been received on that invoice, I believe because you intended to package those costs with subsequent beyond-scope charges into a single Council authorization. The current invoice presents charges in addition to that November 10 invoice. The,total incurred for beyond-scope services on the EIR subsequent to C214X-01 is $13,384.49 which includes additional beyond-scope costs incurred by Fehr & Peers in the amount of $7,390.63 against an authorization of $7,525. These costs are described in a separate memo from that office (submitted as Attachment B to our letter to you of February 24). We believe that the total authorization you should seek for beyond-scope EIR costs is $39,110.92. This amount would cover the C214-X invoice as well as the subsequent C214X-02 invoice. 3. Invoice C214-17E The economic analysis of the Retail/Cinema Project was authorized originally as aS 10,000 amount within the EIR purchase order, but has.been accounted separately in this office and billed in Invoice C214-11 (July 28, 2000). Over recent months, we have been called on to provide additional economic services that have included participation in public heatings and responding to comments from the public.and from decisionmakers on economic issues. We have accumulated those costs in Invoice C214-17E totaling $4,393.24. This is a beyond-scope cost for which additional authorization is needed. Summary Comments I can say without any exaggeration that it has been our great pleasure to assist Redwood City in this project. Looking over the record of our charges not yet paid (see box on next page), 'I believe the amounts are reasonable in light of the challenges presented by complex impacts, unexpected issues, partisan positions, and the time pressures involved in extended pubiic hearings.
