AGREEMENT 2-0149 Exhibit A The AUTHORITY is looking for comprehensive and creative approaches to completing the necessary environmental analysis for The Centerline Project. The DEIS/DEIR (September 1999) and the SDEIS/RDEIR (December 2000) have not yet been certified by the lead agencies (The AUTHORITY for the ËIR and FTA for the EIS). However, a considerable amount of environmental analysis has been completed on the LPA. Therefore, it will be imperative for the CONSULTANT to review the existing environmental documentation to identify what has been completed to date, and to coordinate with the Preliminary Engineering consultant to determine what changes or refinements are being made. The Preliminary Engineering consultant will have management and coordination oversight of the FEIS CONSULTANT. The Preliminary Engineering RFP included the following directions: "... the (PE) work does not involve performing the preparation, processing, and clearance of FEIS/FEIR; this work is to be addressed in a separate procurement. However, the PE consultant shall be responsible for coordinating and providing project management oversight of the FEIS/FEIR effort." The FEIS CONSULTANT will identify the level of environmental analysis required to comply with both CEQA and NEPA. Once the determination has been made as to the level of analysis required, the CONSULTANT will be required to complete this analysis, preparing a New SDEIS/RDEIR, and a draft and final environmental (FEIS/EIR) document, as well as providing copying and dissemination of the reports. The primary tasks identified in later paragraphs are required to complete the environmental work for this project. The CONSULTANT is encouraged to develop or recommend any additional tasks that would assist The AUTHORITY in preparing this work. The following clarification is included as part of the CONSULTANT's Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): Task 0 has been added for Project Management. Task 0 - Project Management This task includes the management necessary to ensure the timely and efficient progression of the PROJECT environmental process. It includes providing advice to The AUTHORITY as needed and the management of the CONSULTANT staff and subconsultants. We will develop and maintain project management and quality control plans, style guides, responsibilities matrices, contact lists, and similar tools for effective management. The CONSULTANT will provide bi-weekly status reports under this task. Under this task the CONSULTANT will prepare accurate and easy-to-understand monthly invoices and work closely with The AUTHORITY's Program Manager to ensure that necessary back-up is provided for these invoices, including a monthly progress report. 5
