At the end of the public comment period, the City received thirty-eight (38) separate comment letters. Between September 1 30, due to the number and complexity of the issues raised in these letters, LSA staff required an additional 27 hours to draft the required Response to Comments (RTC). The RTC was prepared in advance of the first meeting of the City's HSPC meeting. HSPC Meeting(s) and Cultural Resource Consultant/Applicant Response Review As requested by the City, LSA staff attended two meetings of the City's HSPC. Participation in these meetings included pre- and post -meeting discussion(s) with City Staff. Attendance at the October 1 and October 15, 2020 meeting of the HSPC were not anticipated in LSA's original scope of work. Additionally, in advance of the October 15 meeting, LSA staff was requested to review materials submitted by the Cultural Resource Assessment (CRA) consultant and applicant addressing previous HSPC comments. A total of 15 additional staff hours were required to attend these out -of -scope meetings and to review/discuss CRA/applicant responses with City Staff. Additional Research Related to On-site Demolition Activities Between October 20-24, at the request of City staff, LSA conducted research regarding the appropriateness for use of Categorical Exemption(s) for on-site activities. In addition to research of CEQA guidelines and relevant legal requirements, LSA staff participated in teleconferences with City staff on October 22 and 23 with City planning staff and Counsel to discuss the outcome of research. Issues of discussion included effects of demolition on the contributing status of the subject property, potential effects of the demolition on the on-going HSPC and CEQA review, and likely community concerns. A total of 13 additional staff hours were required to complete this out -of -scope effort. Additional Project Coordination and Meetings Attendance at Future HSPC Meeting(s) The City has requested that LSA staff (Carl Winter and Casey Tibbet) attend two (2) additional HSPC meetings (December 17 and a date to be determined.) Based on past HSPC meetings, LSA anticipates up to 3.0 hours per staff/per meeting. Furthermore, this budget augment request anticipates up to two (2) additional hours per staff/per meeting to discuss and coordinate with City staff pre- or post -meeting. Attendance at Future Planning Commission and/or City Council Hearing(s) Attendance at Planning Commission and City Council Hearing by the LSA Project Manager was included in our original scope and cost estimate. This augment request anticipates attendance at these meetings by LSA's Architectural Historian (assuming two, three-hour meetings). An additional two (2) hours per staff/per meeting is allotted for pre- and post -meeting discussion and coordination. 3 L:\ca\dim\Agreements\LSA Second Amend FY20-0063.docx jn EXHIBIT "2" Schedule Schedule Tasks completed to date and future anticipated meetings are detailed below TASKS TIME - ELAPSED DURATION -Task f 0 Project Imttation- . _ Kick-off Meeting, Site Visit, etc. Completed Task 2.0 Technical=Studies - 2.1.
