EXHIBIT A—Scope of Work, Project Budget, and Project Schedule This Work Program describes the tasks the EPS team will undertake to complete a comprehensive review and update of a number of the City of Pleasanton's existing development impact fees, consistent with the provisions of the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section 66000) and other relevant statutes. The work program includes the necessary technical work to support the adoption of updated/new development fees as follows: • Streets, sidewalks, and bicycle paths • Parkland and improvements, open space, and trails • Public facilities (building and land) to provide services to the public • Water and sewer facilities and infrastructure • In-lieu affordable housing fee on residential development • Affordable housing fee on non-residential development(commercial linkage fee). Task 1: Project Initiation The EPS Team will meet with City staff to discuss the approach and refine the proposed Work Program, Schedule, and Budget. Communication protocol, data requirements, and the schedule for project deliverables can be confirmed at this project initiation meeting. EPS will also seek to gain further insights from City staff on project objectives, data requirements, and key issues of concern. Following the project initiation meeting, a revised Work Program will be prepared, as necessary. In advance of the meeting, the EPS Team will obtain and review relevant documents and data from the City, including previous development impact fee studies, discuss issues with City staff, and identify additional information needs, if any. Information sources may include the City's most up-to-date Capital Improvement Program (CIP), facility master plans, the General Plan, land use projections, bond measure documentation, and other relevant documents. For the affordable housing fees, the group will discuss the City's goals for the new and updated affordable housing fee programs, the history of the current Housing In-Lieu fee program, and the effects of recent court cases on the necessary technical analysis and adoption procedures. Task 2: Data Collection and Analysis The EPS Team will work closely with City staff to assemble the land use assumptions, growth projections, service standards, and related capital requirements that will form the basis of the fee program. Among other things, the EPS Team will rely on the City's General Plan and related follow up work (including the EPS authored General Plan Fiscal Impact Analysis) as a starting point. In addition, the EPS Team will closely review the completed but not adopted Sewer, Water, Transportation and Affordable housing fee studies to assess which assumptions are still applicable or need to be updated. The EPS Team will define and reconcile land use categories applicable to the fee between prior studies based on appropriate nexus considerations as well as ease of implementation. EPS will also define the operative assumptions, such as population and employment densities for each land use category to be used in estimating demand allocation for new infrastructure. Page
