· A fiscal/economic impact analysis of the Preferred Draft General Plan and <br /> Alternatives. <br /> <br />This work will be prepared by BAE with extensive input from the Economic Vitality <br />Committee, as well as information gleaned from a series of stakeholder interviews. BAE has <br />completed several studies of this nature for other Bay Area communities including the City of <br />San Ramon, the City of Livermore, and the City of Walnut Creek. In addition, BAE has <br />successfully completed projects for the City of Pleasanton, including a fiscal analysis for the last <br />General Plan update and the Bernal Specific Plan Infrastructure Financing Burden Study. <br /> <br />BAE's full Scope of Work is described in Attachment 2, Exhibit A. BAE is proposing to <br />complete this work for $87,000 (see Exhibit B). Staffis recommending the City Council <br />authorize the City Manager to approve additions to this contract up to a total of $95,700. The <br />ten percent contingency would be authorized only for items not included in the original scope of <br />work such as additional public meetings or new issues not previously identified. <br /> <br />BUDGET AND FISCAL IMPACTS <br /> <br />The General Plan consultant fund has a balance of $223,400 which is sufficient to cover the basic <br />contracts ($133,000 plus $87,000 -- $220,000). It is recommended that the City Manager be <br />authorized to transfer funds from the City's contingency fund, if necessary to cover the proposed <br />ten percent contingency for these contracts. ' <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br /> 1. Approve two consultant contracts: with EIP Associates, for services <br /> related to the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report on the <br /> General Plan; and, with Bay Area Economics, for services related to <br /> economic development and fiscal modeling for the Economic and Fiscal <br /> Element of the General Plan. <br /> 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Agreements. <br /> 3. Authorize the City Manager to amend each contract by up to 10 percent <br /> of the total cost as a contingency for services not described within the <br /> current scope of work. <br /> 4. Authorize transfer of funds from the contingency to the General Plan <br /> fund if necessary to cover the contingency work described in 3. <br /> <br /> SR 05:148 <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
