Had experiancse reviewing enigineciring-related RFAs. SHe advised against relying ori the
comiultant to evaluale the effectiveness of forming an advisor}l aammincia, develop the
public involvement strateigy, on identify funding meahanisms. SHe said staff sHauld take
thle Wad in thosci areias beicause they kdew morei about potenitial sources of funding
(including what Metta would want to hear from the Cit}j; and that' kdew the hi;itory of
public involvement in the LGVC Plan. She indiaateic it was r.iarm al and apprapriiate to
ask a csonsultant to focus ori evaluating design refinements, e:itimalinig costs, and
comparing thea costs ofIalteirnativus. Shci ofirned that the public shauld bei involved ir.i the

Ms. Klebs suggested the City fbrm an advisory aammittua similati to thea LGVC

an hove many models and tcastsa mere run., so 1 hes RFA shoed bee mode sf eacifics. For
example, City engineers - riot the consultant - should speciify the list of impacts the traffia40
safcaty ane ysis was to conisideni. She observed d oaumenit languages was too open-ended,
gar.iaral and ambiguous, and sHould give cluaneii direcslion and p6oriilies. She caulior..ied_
that the language in thea Scsope of Wank scsation favored an urban renewal program.
The Commissioneni examined thea draft REIR Tlhley aonsidarec wheather thea csonsultant
should be cHargeid withl developing as publ:ia involvesmlent proaassi and invest galinig
potanlial fundinig mechanisms, or iflthe staff shauld do that. They considered wHo sHould

Egn esr, Lon g Ma nge Planning Managei, she., sed it was irrmiportant to know wHat csacH
edemanl csfl the Plan would cost early in the refinarrienit process so aor.istruation and
fin- ncaing could ba reconciled. He anlicipaated that csansultanls' propasals might outline
how to do that:. CHai r Glisson related that heir expeuiienica was that it was. helpful to have a
sfecialized ecsonomia develaprr.leint csonsultant on lhlea aansultanl's team because they oNin
suggleasteid rieweui or ufdated strategies, and the Clity might r.ial have then kind of expertise
