This proposal includes updating the Consistency Analysis in response to PSE’s comments and the City’s direction. Below are our proposed Scope of Work, Schedule, and Budget for Amendment 1 of the Consistency Analysis. ASSUMPTIONS To provide a Scope of Work and Budget for our Amendment 1 services on the Energize Eastside EIS Consistency Analysis, we made certain key assumptions; if these assumptions change over time, adjustments in our Scope of Work and Budget may be warranted. Our specific assumptions for Amendment 1 include:  The basis of the revisions to the Consistency Analysis will be the table the City sent to EA on 8.19.19 with PSE’s comments, sample conditions from the City of Bellevue CUP, and the City’s suggested condition changes to the Consistency Analysis. PSE’s comments relate to the Potential Mitigation Measures and Regulatory Requirements contained in Chapter 3 of the Consistency Analysis.  PSE may provide one further round of comments on the Consistency Analysis. The City and EA will determine how any further comments are to be addressed.  The Final Consistency Analysis will be submitted to the City for their use; this will mark the end of this phase. No subsequent phases of the Consistency Analysis are assumed at this time.
