3 Assumptions

Dudek provides the following cost assumptions used in development of the fixed-price items outlined in
the budget estimate.

Assumptions for Development of GSP

GSP Development

Dudek Assumes the project will last 28 months. This is an escalation of the original schedule, but
reduces costs associated with meetings and project management.

We have budgeted one (1) hour per week for the duration of the project for update phone calls with the
GSA point of contact and one (1) additional hour per week for additional communication. The phone calls
will be conducted by either the project manager or other team members.

Dudek will prepare monthly project reports and schedule updates that will identify the percentage of the
budget by task that has been expended to date, the upcoming work and schedule, scope, or budget
concerns identified during the billing period. Dudek anticipates preparing up to 28 monthly progress
reports, beginning in fall 2018. Estimated time for progress reports and invoicing is six (6) hours per
month.

Monthly Monthly YucaipYucaipa GSAa GSA MeetingsMeetings
Dudek will participate in eight (8) GSA meetings. Each meeting is assumed to require twelve (12) hours
for meeting preparation, presenting at meetings, and travel. It is assumed that all 8 meetings will be
attended by the project manager and four (4) will be attended by Dr. Weinberger. Dudek assumes Valley
District or Yucaipa GSA member agencies will reserve the meeting location. The tentative topics for
presentation to the GSA are:

1. Kickoff, project organization, request for historical and current data
2. Conceptual Model,
3. Current conditions, historical water budget, historical safe yield, data gaps, uncertainty
4. Sustainability: undesirable results, minimum thresholds and measureable objectives
5. USGS model uncertainty, and establishing future conditions to be simulated: climate, population
growth and demand, projects to be evaluated
6. Review simulations of future conditions and estimated sustainable yield, re-visit undesirable
results, minimum thresholds and measureable objectives
7. Review of comments on administrative draft GSP
8. Review of comments from public review
