A.3 - Cost Estimate MBA estimates that the work to complete the scope of work identified;in Sectoh 1 of.this Scope of Work is for a total ndt-to-exceed.amount of.$189,962.00. This estimate is biased:, on our understanding of the Project and several assumpti6n..identified below.Table-2 provides the overall breakdown of all costs that are tied directly to the tasks identified'in the Work Plan as listed in Section .1 of this Scope of Work. Also; we have included-:our.current 2007 Schedule of Pees in Appendix A. MBA proposes to bill for services.rendered on a time and materials basis each month. A summary log of work will be submitted with each monthly invoice, itemized by each task identified in the Proposal. 3.1 - Project Understanding and Assumptions MBA understands that the KRC Aggregates Quarry Excavation Permit and Reclamation Plan Project (Project)will include the expansion of an existing quarry operation to allow.for the extraction of up to 15 million cubic yards of sand and gravel from a 1,945 acre site. Mining and reclamation operations would be limited to 1,127 acres of the total site and would occur in three phases over a 15 year period. Each phase, V, VI, and VII, would consist of multiple excavations within the project site to allow the Applicant to blend aggregate materials as appropriate. The maximum depth of excavation would be +30 feet below the existing ground surface. Ultimate reclamation of the site would facilitate rangeland and open spaces uses. The site is located at the terminus of Brandt Road. The Project site includes all or part of assessor parcel numbers (APN)023-170-08; 023-180-01 and 03; 023-190-03; 023-230-08, 09, and 13; 023-250-02 (see Exhibit 2). One or more these properties is currently covered under the provisions of a Williamson Act contract. Access to the Project site would be provided via Brandt Road from Clements Roads, which connects with State Route(s) 12 and 88 north of the site and Kettelman Road to the south. The general distribution of haul trucks, based on market demand, will have two-thirds of the haul truck trips traveling south on Clements Road, with the remaining one-third traveling north. Alternate haul routes to be evaluated as part of the EIR include Cord Road to the north of the site and Harney Road, south of Kettelman Road. The processing of the mined aggregate (i.e., crushing, screening, sorting, etc.) will occur at the existing Processing Plant, which would continue to operate 24 hours a day. Mining excavation however would be restricted from 5:00 am to 9:00 pm. The existing aggregate wash ponds would remain in use and process water would be used to support up to 75 percent of the Project's water needs. The aggregate processing plant will require up to 2.3 million gallons per day (gpm) to satisfy replacement water needs. Groundwater pumping would occur from two existing 500 gpm production wells that are operated by a 1,400 gpm pump. Based on information provided in the Application, the pumps would have an average pumping rate of 600 gpm. To accurately budget MBA's work plan for developing the project description and the EIR analysis, we have made certain assumptions, which are identified below. If these assumptions change or requiring re-visiting, MBA wilt require an budget augment. • A Draft Reclamation Plan will be available for review prior to the initiation of the CEQA review, including conceptual or engineering plans, associated infrastructure, any offsite access improvements, erosion control plans, etc. • The Applicant will participate in the San Joaquin Multi-Species Conservation Plan (SJMSCP) to mitigate for potential impacts to covered species for portions of the
