PROJECT MANAGEMENT Purpose: Provide continuous direction to the consultant team and to coordinate with Debbie Pollart, the City's Project Manager, and Kathleen Livermore, the City's CEQA Lead. City Involvement: Participate in weekly progress discussions; coordinate with ElF project manager; serve as liaison to Kaiser, unless it is determined that ElF may contact Kaiser directly; help set project priorities and facilitate decisions. Deliverables: (1) Meeting notes as required, and (2) Monthly progress and budget reports. Discussion: From ElF's perspective, project success is San Leandro and Kaiser agreeing to a Medical Campus Master Plan that achieves all or most of their respective goals. The EIR process facilitates achieving this objective by identifying and analyzing issues and suggesting alternatives and mitigation measures that address adverse impacts. Project success begins with quickly and accurately discovering issues and conditions that must be addressed by a project. This knowledge lays the groundwork for the analysis and understandings that must follow. This working environment can be only achieved with good project management and clear communication. ElF will rely on close coordination and frequent communication with the City. To facilitate this style of management, ElF's project manager, Mr. Michael Kay, will serve as the consultant team's single point of contact. He will actively manage the work to ensure its timeliness and quality and will participate in all project meetings. Mr. Kay also brings extensive experience working with Caltrans. Prior to joining ElF, he served as a Senior Environmental Planner in the Caltrans District 4 office in Oakland. He has continued to work on Caltrans-related projects as a Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and EIP Associates Page 18 of 44
