Fiscal Analysis for the Staples Ranch Development Project October 25, 2007 Page 9 BUDGET Our charges are based on the actual time devoted to your project by our staff, billed at standard hourly rates. These rates are subject to revision at the beginning of each calendar year. Rates expected to go into effect as of January 1, 2008, are: Roberta Mundie, Principal $170 per hour Suzanne Lampert, Senior Associate 167 per hour Marissa Plouin, Staff Associate 100 per hour Expenses, such as for subsistence and incidental travel costs, publications and printing, are invoiced at their cost to us. Other expenses are charged according to our current rates (subject to change on January 1 of each year): travel in staff-owned vehicles, $0.485 per mile; in-house photo- copying, $0.25 per page; FAX receipts and transmittals, $0.25 per page plus $0.50 per outgoing fax phone call; telephone charges (including FAX line), itemized cost multiplied by 1.5. Bills are submitted monthly and are payable on receipt. For the scope of work outlined above excluding optional Task 6 and attendance at public meetings (Task 8), we ask that you allocate a budget not to exceed $35,000. For optional Task 6 (fiscal analysis of vacated sites), we ask that you add $7,800. The maximum total budget -assuming the inclusion of Task 6 and our attendance at four public hearings -would amount to $42,800. We would be happy to discuss modifications to the proposed scope of work, with commensurate modifications to the budget, should you so desire. SCHEDULE We would be prepared to begin work on the fiscal impact analysis outlined above within one week of receiving authorization to proceed. We ask that you allow eight weeks for completion of the scope of work outlined above. This time frame includes preparation of draft and final reports on all the topics covered. This schedule assumes our ability to schedule meetings with City staff (Task 2) within two weeks of receiving authorization to proceed, and further assumes that we receive City comments on our draft report within one week of submitting that report for review.
