6.1.E. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er January 14, 2013 SUBJECT Amendment Number 4 to Agreement with Moore, lacofano and Goltsman (MIG) for Environmental Consulting Services for the Stanford in Redwood City Project RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve, and authorize City Manager to execute, Amendment Number 4 with MIG in the amount of $3,025 to complete preparation of the Stanford in Redwood City Environmental Impact Report (EIR). BACKGROUND On August 11, 2008, the City executed an agreement with Wagstaff and Associates to assist staff with the preparation of an EIR for the "Stanford in Redwood City" project. The original agreement, which included sub-consultant work, was in the amount of $354,250. Wagstaff and Associates has since merged with MIG and is now referred to as MIG. In March 2010, the City Council approved the first amendment to MIG's contract agreement in the amount of $85,285 and in May 2011 approved a second amendment in the amount of $41,384 plus a 5% contingency ($24,045.90) which MIG used and which brought the total amendment amount to $65,429.90. On September 10, 2012, the City Council approved a third contract amendment in the amount of $86,406.18 to cover unanticipated work performed by MIG and their subconsultants, including the preparation of: responses to additional Draft EIR review cycles based on incorporation of new information; associated document printing and mailing costs; an additional traffic analysis; EIR background reference documents list; and preparation of the draft and final Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) and CEQA findings for project approval hearings. ANALYSIS MIG is now requesting a fourth amendment in the amount of $3,025 which brings the total contract amount to $594,396.08. The amendment will cover additional costs for Hexagon, MIG's traffic engineer subconsultant, to revise the EIR traffic analysis to reflect planned Caltrans signal timing improvements to the intersection of Middlefield Road/Woodside Road as well as for the City's planned intersection design modifications that will be built in spring-summer of 2013. The contract amendment will also cover MIG's cost to revise the EIR transportation chapter accordingly, including any revised mitigation measures.
