Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. <br /> 9 <br />Additionally, EPS will attend up to three Housing or Planning Commission meetings or hearings to <br />provide input and recommendations to City Council. EPS will attend these meetings in-person <br />and will present information and recommendations in a clear and digestible manner to help <br />decision makers understand the benefits, trade-offs and context of various policy choices. EPS <br />will work with City staff to identify stakeholders with whom to engage to identify potential issues <br />of concern or priority regarding updates to the inclusionary housing program. Such groups might <br />include residential developers that are active in the region, the Chamber of Commerce, and <br />housing advocacy groups. <br />With respect to public outreach, EPS will participate in up to two stakeholder meetings during the <br />project, expected to be focused roundtables or informational meetings with key stakeholders, <br />including representatives of the development community, organizations such as the Building <br />Industry Association (BIA), and business organizations. While City staff will be responsible for <br />organizing these meetings (e.g., outreach, scheduling, location, etcs), EPS will provide support <br />on content (e.g., agenda, handouts or memoranda) and participate in the presentation and <br />discussion. <br />Budget Estimate and Schedule <br />As shown in Table 1, EPS estimates that the proposed work program can be completed for a not <br />to exceed base amount of $203,928. This includes an EPS budget of $122,605, a Fehr & Peers <br />budget of $47,335, and a BKF Engineers budget of $7,000. The budget estimate includes direct <br />costs associated with the tasks, including materials, data, and travel, based on our best <br />understanding of the City’s needs at this time. <br />Charges for the EPS Team’s time are based on staff hours actually spent, as recorded in quarter <br />hour increments and documented in detailed invoices. Expenses for travel, data, facsimiles, <br />copying, and other project related items are billed at cost without mark-up. Invoices are <br />submitted monthly and are payable within one month of receipt. <br />The proposed schedule by task is illustrated in Table 2. We aim to complete the Administrative <br />Draft Reports within four months of project authorization and the complete project within an <br />additional two months. This timeline will be dependent upon the availability of City staff to <br />provide prompt feedback on deliverables and the public hearing schedule. We are open to <br />refining the timeframe based on your needs. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 23AB0CDB-5A6C-4B09-80D1-0F699E28C524DocuSign Envelope ID: CB7E68CB-B5FA-40EC-AA35-142CA6B57242
