EXHIBIT A-1: REVISIONS TO SCOPE OF WORK San Leandro General Plan This exhibit outlines the changes required to accommodate the addition of the Open Space, Conservation, Noise, and Safety Elements to the San Leandro General Plan consultant work scope. The exhibit includes an overview of why the change is required, and a description of the specific tasks to be undertaken. Overview The current EXHIBIT "A" Scope of Work covered only two of the seven State -mandated General Plan elements (Land Use and Circulation). At the time the Work Scope was approved, the City's intent was to substantially complete these two elements before beginning work on the Open Space, Conservation, Noise and Safety Elements in Year 2000. This was originally proposed in an effort to spread the budget for the General Plan over several fiscal years. Due to the considerable effort the City has undertaken to create an Advisory Committee for the Land Use and Circulation Elements, the inter -related nature of policies in all elements of the Plan, and the actual schedule upon which the Land Use and Circulation Elements have progressed, the City is now amending the work scope so that six of the seven mandated elements will be completed by Fall 2000. The seventh element —Housing —will be completed in 2001 under a separate budget cycle. The Housing Element is unique in both format and content, and therefore can logically be done after the other six elements have been completed. Moreover, the Housing Element must be based on "fair share" allocations which still have not been assigned by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The revisions to the scope include "existing conditions" data collection and analysis tasks to support policies and actions in the four additional elements, additional GPAC meeting time and community outreach tasks, and additional environmental impact assessment related to the other elements. The revisions to the scope also incorporate supplemental tasks related to the Land Use and Circulation Elements, including local street network traffic modeling and supplemental economic analysis. Finally, the revisions incorporate preparation of a Historic Preservation Element or sub -element of the General Plan. The supplemental budget will provide sufficient funding through the preparation of a Public Review Draft General Plan in late 2000. Additional funding will be required in FY `00-'01 to print the Draft, attend public hearings, respond to EIR comments and prepare the Final EIR, and desktop publish and print the Final Plan. Additional funding also will be required to complete the Housing Element. (The total allocation required for 2000-2001, covering all of these tasks, is estimated to be $105,000). The following task descriptions supplement those which appear in EXHIBIT "A." Summary of Changes to EXHIBIT "A" Work Scope Revisions to Task 2 (Community Outreach Program) Task 2.2: General Plan Advisory Committee and Subcommittee Meetings Task 2.2 in the Original Work Scope is expanded to allow tor consultant participation at eight additional meetings of the full General Plan Advisory Committee. This participation includes meeting planning, preparation of handouts and other materials, meeting attendance, and preparation of minutes. Additional Exhibit A -I * November 15, 1999 Page I
