Attachment_E_-_Cost_Proposal_.docx

This document is a Cost Proposal Form (RFP #193962) for the City of Palo Alto's University Avenue Streetscape Assessment District Feasibility Analysis project. The contract is structured in two distinct phases: Phase I focuses on stakeholder outreach, needs definition, workshop facilitation, site orientation, database formation, and feasibility analysis, while Phase II concentrates on district management plan development, database refinement, petition preparation, marketing, Proposition 218 ballot process, and City Council approval. The project aims to develop a Property-Based Assessment District to fund streetscape improvements with an estimated project cost of approximately $40 million and a projected duration of two years.

The cost proposal form provides a template for bidders to quote pricing for each task within Phase I and Phase II, with separate line items for various project components. The document indicates that proposers should provide specific rates for each task, though the actual monetary amounts are not filled in on this template. The project appears to be funded through a municipal assessment district mechanism, which will require stakeholder engagement, legal processes, and eventual City Council approval. The comprehensive approach suggests a methodical strategy for securing funding and implementing significant urban infrastructure improvements along University Avenue in Palo Alto, California.
