include a discussion of the Open Space, Conservation, Safety, and Noise Elements, as well as the Land Use and Circulation Elements. An assessment of the environmental impacts associated with the open space, conservation, safety, noise, and historic preservation policies, as well as land use and transportation policies, will be provided. The EIR Alternatives Analysis will consider alternatives to policies in all elements of the Plan. In addition to the scope changes task described above, this task is expanded to provide a more detailed local traffic analysis than was described in the original work program. The initial scope assumed a minimal level of future traffic analysis, relying only on an Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) model run, with no model adjustments except to make land use assumptions consistent with the General Plan. To address the need for more precise data, Fehr and Peers will construct a TRAFFIX model to include about 35 intersections, 30 to 40 traffic analysis zones, and 10 to 15 traffic analysis gates. An additional $6,900 has been allocated in the budget to cover the changes to Task 6.4. Addition of Task 10: Project Administration Task 10 is a new task that was not inc u e in the original project budget. It covers attendance at staff meetings, selection and management of any technical subconsultants, mailings to GPAC and GPAC subcommittees, maintenance of project files and data bases, assistance in mapping and Geographic Information System tasks, and preparation of staff reports and other written materials in support of the overall General Plan program. A budget allocation of $5,500 has been made to support the addition of this task to the work scope. Increased Allowance for Direct Costs The initial budget (EXHIBIT 13-1 to the original Agreement) included a $3,710 allocation for reimbursable direct costs (including printing, graphic supplies, film and photo developing, blueprints and graphic reproduction services, postage and overnight mail, etc.). To account for the meetings added to the Work Scope, and the additional Plan elements to be produced, the overall project budget for direct costs is increased from by $2,660 to a grand total of $6,370.
