CONTRACT 4133B Amendment CLOSED1 3 l "QV, Approximately five (5) in- person meetings and several conference calls have occurred over the past several months. This task accounts for travel time, attendance and action item follow -up. One additional meeting (which is anticipated in September 2012) has been budgeted. 8.2 PROJECT COORDINATION RBF has incurred substantial costs related to on -going coordination for tasks that are not associated with the CEQA process. This task budget is intended to cover those costs through September 2012. 8.3 SPECIFIC PLAN PREPARATION /ASSISTANCE In addition to services provided under Task 7.0, the RBF team has had continuous participation in the Specific Plan process. The work program has included the Land Use Plan and Design Guidelines, update the general plan discussion to correctly reference appropriate goals and policies, update and expand the Circulation Plan, the development regulations and infrastructure based upon project studies. The following efforts will result in additions to the South Campus Specific Plan, providing landscape guidance and a level of consistency in the new campus. This assumes that a real landscape master plan would be prepared by the applicant at the time of the first site plan review for any new development within the Specific Plan. Streetscape Palette. A landscape architect will visit the site, conduct research and investigation of city standards, contact the City's urban forester, and prepare a comprehensive plant palette for the public and future publicly maintained streets, as well as the parking lots. Streetscape Concept. Development of a streetscape concept illustrated through typical streetscape cross sections for the Hughes Avenue extension, Continental Avenue, and the El Segundo Boulevard frontage. A landscape architect will design, draft, create and exhibit for each, including provision of the bicycle lane in Hughes /Nash and the bicycle trail on El Segundo Boulevard. Parking Lot Landscape. Development of a typical parking lot landscape concept and related standards for landscape percentages and tree coverage. RBF's landscape architects will design, draft, create and exhibit and review with City staff. Typical Entry Concept (Plan View Vignette). RBF's landscape architects will design, draft and create and exhibit of a typical entry landscape concept and review with City staff. No monumentation /signage is assumed as this will be subject of a future signage program. 8.4 TRAFFIC SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS In June 2012, RBF prepared a sensitivity analysis to determine the maximum number of trips, known as a "trip ceiling," that can be generated by the proposed Raytheon project that will not result in a significant impact at the Sepulveda Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard intersection based on City of El Segundo thresholds of significance, and thus not require the connection of Nash Street and Hughes Way as mitigation. The analysis also evaluated the Continental Boulevard/El Segundo Boulevard and Nash Street/El Segundo Boulevard intersections. JN 10- 107917 • 23 • February 13, 2013 X413 3 i.a City of El Segundo Raytheon El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Specific Plan Services Based on the proposed phased buildout of the project site supplied by City staff, the analysis identified which phase of the proposed project would be required to make the Nash Street — Hughes Way connection as mitigation for the first significant impact identified at one of the study intersections. Additionally, RBF derived examples of land use combinations possible under the trip ceiling impact requiring the connection of Nash Street and Hughes Way as mitigation. 9.0 CONTINGENCY The update to the Work Program includes replenishing the contingency budget. The contingency is 15% of the project budget and would not be utilized without the consent and authorization bythe City of El Segundo. Examples of the need for contingency reimbursement outside of the recognized scope of work include: • Additional traffic analysis • Additional intersection and /or roadway traffic counts • Cost for SCAG /agency traffic model forecast runs • Additional stages of Peer Review of Applicant prepared information • Additional Alternatives included in the EIR review • Quantitative analysis for Alternatives that were assumed to require only a qualitative review • The level of analysis /responses for comments received during the Draft EIR Public Review • Increased level of project coordination • Additional meetings JN 10- 107917 • 24 • February 13, 2013 Project "Restart" Meeting (post April -June project re- submittal and coordination) ..........

JN 10- 107917 • 25 • February 13, 2013 This proposal shall be valid for a period of 90 days. Progress billings will be forwarded based on payment criteria established by the City. These billings will include the fees earned for the billing period. The City shall make every reasonable effort to review invoices within fifteen (15) working days from the date of receipt of the invoices and notify Consultant in writing of any particular item that is alleged to be incorrect. The fees proposed herein shall apply until March 1, 2014. Due to annual increases in costs associated with inflation, staff wage increases and increases in direct costs, Consultant will increase those portions of the contract fee for which work must still be completed after March 1, 2014, by fifteen percent (15 %). Deviations or modifications from the Scope of Work will result in potential re- evaluation of the associated fees. Items not specifically stated in the proposal will be considered an additional work item. All work will be performed at a "Not to Exceed" contract price, which will become the fixed price upon completion of negotiations with the City staff authorized to negotiate and agreement. The total budget includes all miscellaneous costs for travel /mileage, reproduction, telephone, postal, delivery, reference materials, and incidental expenses. The budget provides a breakdown of our estimated cost of performing the services described in this Scope of Services. Our Scope of Services and its associated cost are based on several key assumptions, including the following: 1. City will develop the mailing list for distribution of the EIR and notices. The City will be responsible for newspaper cost of publication of notices, which will be billed directly to the City, so they are not included in the proposed budget. 2. Photocopy costs included in the proposal are for the specified number of copies of deliverables and reasonable incidental and in -team photocopying. If additional copies of deliverables are needed, they can be provided with an amendment to the proposed budget. 3. Review cycles for preliminary documents are presented in the scope of work. Additional review cycles or additional versions of administrative drafts are assumed to not be needed. 4. The proposed work addresses CEQA requirements of the proposed action. Work related to NEPA compliance, Section 404 compliance, or other permitting processes is not included (although these can be added, as needed, with a contract amendment). Work concludes at the acceptance by the City of the final deliverable. 5. The budget is based on completion of work within an agreed upon schedule. If substantial delay occurs, an amendment of the budget would be warranted to accommodate additional project management time and other costs. Substantial delay is normally defined as 90 days or more. JN 10- 107917 • 26 • February 13, 2013 I'J 1 . � ka. City of El Segundo Raytheon El Segundo South Campus Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report and Specific Plan Services x 6. Costs are included for the number of meetings specified in the scope of work. If additional meetings are needed, they can be included with an amendment of the budget. 7. The extent of public comment on a Draft EIR is not predictable. The proposed budget includes a reasonable, preliminary estimate time to respond to comments. RBF will consult with the City after the valuation of the comments to determine if the preliminarily estimated budget is sufficient. An excessive amount of comments is generally considered to be more than thirty (30) commenting agencies /individuals and /or over 150 comments that require answers other than "Comment is noted." 8. Costs have been allocated to tasks to determine the total budget. RBF may reallocate costs among tasks, as needed, as long as the total budget is not exceeded. 9. Once the proposed project description, baseline, and alternatives are approved by the City for analysis in the Draft EIR, it is assumed they will not change thereafter. If changes requiring revisions to analysis or rewriting of EIR information occur, an amendment of the budget would be warranted. 10. The CEQA statutes or guidelines may change during the course of this EIR. If amendments require redoing work already performed or substantially increasing effort, a contract amendment may be warranted.
