From the time of the previous MIG <br /> contract amendment to the Planning Commission meeting, MIG prepared additional out- <br /> of-scope changes to the Final EIR (after it was released to the public) and to the <br /> Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) at City request. These changes <br /> resulted from ongoing discussions between the City and the applicant, and between the <br /> City and MIG, during which the final project details, including mitigation responsibilities, <br /> were refined. <br /> As you know, the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan, EIR, and MMRP comprise a <br /> meticulously integrated set of documents. Even the smallest refinement to any one <br /> document required a thorough investigation of its possible effects on the other <br /> documents. In the interest of maintaining the project schedule and momentum, NIIG <br /> continued to work on the Final EIR and MMRP, without requesting additional funds to <br /> cover the out-of-scope work. As a result, after the August 20 Planning Commission <br /> hearing, our project budget is ($1,649.37) (i.e., we have spent$1,649.37 beyond our <br /> budget), and we have the City Council hearing(s) upcoming. <br /> We are hereby requesting a contract amendment no. 6 to cover the existing budget <br /> deficit($1,649.37) plus attendance at two City Council hearings, assuming the Final EIR <br /> is certified at the second hearing. Please note that, since MIG work on this project is <br /> invoiced by the hours of labor, we may not need the entire requested budget(e.g., if the <br /> Final EIR is certified at the first hearing). The anticipated hours and expenses are as <br /> fol lows: <br /> Ray Pendro, E/R Project Manager: <br /> Preparation/Research/Support to City Staff for Hearings = 8 hrs @ $965 =$9,320 <br /> Attendance at Two (2) City Council Hearings (incl. travel) = 8 hrs @ $165 =$9,320 <br /> Mileage/Bay Bridge Toll (based on Goog/e Map) _$900 <br /> T:1106121do-8-26-13(10612).doc <br />
