Prior to proceeding with the construction <br />of these improvements, it is necessary to review anticipated Specific Plan infrastructure improvements <br />and costs and to identify a clear long and short-term strategy (Financing Plan) to meet these expenses <br />within the context of the Financing Program. <br />Attached are two spreadsheets representing the Financing Plan. A summary of the Financing Plan is as <br />follows: <br />Spreadsheet # 1 -Summary of Vineyard Corridor Speck Plan Future Expenses and Revenue.

However, note that $4,600,000 of the total $8,531,206 is based on the bids outlined in <br />the August 15 report. The remaining $4,068,794 is based on estimates available at this time; the <br />actual costs will be based on final design and bids received to construct the improvements. <br />Other Infrastructure and Payments Due -This information is based on staff estimates for these <br />projects and is subject to change based on actual bids results.
