ALH Urban & Regional Economics operations services, community services, library, police, and fire. ALH Economics will also determine the City's increment of costs required to implement the traffic and transportation improvements identified for the Project in the Draft SEIR. In conducting this task, ALH Economics will benefit from the assistance of a City liaison who can identify the appropriate departmental representatives to contact and to introduce them to the study, our firm, and the need for their cooperation. Task 2.2. Report Preparation. The results of this task will be included as a chapter in the report presenting the urban decay analysis. Task 3: Public Process Task 3.1. Response to Public Comments. After the close of the public review and comment period for the Draft SEIR, ALH Economics will review relevant public comments addressing economic impacts that could lead to physical changes in the environment. ALH Economics will provide written responses to those comments directly pertaining to the report and relevant findings. The budget estimate assumes approximately 10 hours of staff time will be required to respond to comments. Task 3.2. Public Hearing Attendance. ALH Economics will attend public hearings relevant to the Project, assuming ALH Economics hos no prior conflicts associated with the meeting dotes. Other provisions moy need to be mode if such conflicts occur. For the public hearings, ALH Economics will prepare a presentation about the study if necessary, or simply be available to answer questions should any arise relevant to the urban decay analysis. The budget estimate assumes attendance at up to two public hearings, with each meeting lasting for on average duration of five hours. The budget for this task does not include the preparation of any written responses to documents submitted in opposition to the Project following the Task 3.1. Response to Public Comments. Any time commitment required to respond to materials submitted during the public hearing process will require additional fees. TIMEFRAME AND PROFESSIONAL FEES We estimate thot a Task 1 droft report of the urban decay findings can be completed within approximately 8 to 10 weeks from our receipt of your written authorization to proceed, assuming that the information and data needed from Project team members are readily available. If amenable to ESA and the City of Pleasanton, the Task 2 work will be completed coincident with ESA and City review of the Task 1 findings, with the findings integrated into the full report thereafter. Alternatively, ALH Economics can package these task findings in o separate report if deemed desirable by ESA and the City of Pleasanton. If data provided by Project team members change during the course of the Project, these factors will be included in the analysis. However, this could delay report completion and result in extra professional fees. Our fee for these services will be based upon our actual time expended, billed at our current hourly rotes. This rate is $240 for Amy L. Herman, Principal of ALH Urban 8 Regional Economics. More junior level staff will be billed at a lower hourly rate, ronging from $115 to $125 per hour. Based upon our current understanding of the engagement, we anticipate the fees to be distributed as follows: PAGE 8
