San Rafael, CA 94901
Re: Proposal to Provide Real Estate Advisory and Due Diligence Services
Dear Ms. Lovette,
Seifel Consulting appreciates this opportunity to provide real estate advisory and due diligence services to
the City of San Rafael (the City). We understand that Lennar North is requesting that the City grant them
air rights above the Lootens parking structure (at 1001 Fourth Street, downtown San Rafael) to allow for
the development of housing. Lennar North also proposes to replace and rebuild the current 180 public
parking spaces.
The purpose of Seifel's initial wont effort would be to help the City determine if the rebuilding of the
public parking spaces is adequate consideration -for the granting of the air lights and to help assess the
feasibility of other options that the City may have for use of the garage. The initial analysis is to be
presented to the City Council Economic Development subcommittee. In addition, the City may also
require assistance during the developer negotiation process should the development proposal proceed.
For this work effort, we will leverage our experience and knowledge of the North Bay area and of similar
public private partnership efforts to efficiently perform this assignment. Our expertise and relevant firm
experience are summarized in the accompanying firm qualifications.
This proposal includes a work program and fee range for advisory services to be performed and is
designed to serve as an exhibit to a contract should you wish to proceed. This proposal is organized as
follows:

A. Proposed Work Program
Based on our initial discussions, Seifel Consulting (Seifel) proposes to perform the following tasks during
the initial phase, and these tasks will be refined during Task 1.
Task 1: Project Initiation and Project Management .
We will initiate the project by leading a meeting or conference call to review and refine the work plan
with City staff. The key focus of this initial session will be to:
• Review the key information that the City has assembled on the project.
• Review and refine the scope of sei vices based on a discussion of the City's needs and on an
understanding of the available data.
• Determine how each work task can best be accomplished.
• Compile a master list of any additional data required from the City or from Lemiar North
(the developer).
• Establish a schedule for the assembly of information and completion of tasks.
Throughout the work effort, Seifel staff will communicate via phone and e-mail with City staff and the
developer. These meetings/calls will be scheduled periodically and will serve to evaluate the progress of
the project work, obtain additional information and review work performed to date.
Task 2: Initial Due Diligence Analysis and Valuation Analysis
The prime focus of the initial work effort is to perform due diligence on the developer's proposal and to
assess whether or not the rebuilding of the public parking spaces represents adequate consideration for the
granting of the air rights development over the existing parking garage.
During Task 2, we will:
• Utilize current data and reports available through the City and/or the developer to verify the revenue
assumptions in the pro forma, including any market studies prepared for the developer on this project
or other studies performed by The Concord Group and others on other San Rafael projects, as well as
readily available market data on residential rents and/or sales prices.
• Evaluate the developer's assumptions for hard and soft costs, including overhead, insurance,
professional services, financing costs and other soft costs, in collaboration with the City's Building
and Public Works Department. (If the City and Seifel determine additional due diligence is required
on the hard construction costs, a cost estimator may be retained to evaluate the reasonableness of the
hard construction costs.)
• Determine how the developer has incorporated allowances for contractor overhead and profit, as well
as developer overhead and profit.
• Evaluate the developer's revenue assumptions for the project, including rents and other income.
• Review compliance with the affordability restrictions and requirements of any of the various funding
sources the developer has proposed for the project.
• Assess the likelihood of obtaining all of the funding sources assumed by the developer.
Ideally, the developer will provide Seifel with an electronic version of its pro forma.. This will allow us to
more efficiently evaluate and understand how various assunptions were applied and to verify the
calculations. Seifel will keep confidential all information and spreadsheets provided by the developer
regarding this development. Based on the findings of due diligence efforts, Seifel may request that the
developer explain and/or revise the initial pro forma.
Page 2
Task 3. Presentation of Initial Findings
Scifelwill prepare materials for and present at one public meeting with the City Council Subcommittee
and/or others to discuss our findings and recommendations. For the initial phase of work, the findings will
be presented in bullet -point or presentation format accompanied by explanatory tables.
Task 4: Additional Services
This scope of services• is based on our initial understanding of our role and tasks to be performed for this
assignment during this first stage of analysis. Future tasks to be performed as part of Task 4 will be. ,
outlined at the conclusion of Task 3. Based on our initial understanding of the project and our experience
with similar projects, additional services may include some or -all of the following potential tasks:
• Analyze the feasibility of providing a use on the ground floor of Fourth Street that would create
pedestrian interest, (The current proposal is for a leasing office.)
• Assess the impact to the City of the air rights transaction structure (that the developer is proposing) on
the use of the garage, maintenance, etcetera.
• Assist staff with development of an effective entitlement process. (The developer and City would like
to have a mechanism to assure that the air rights are available to the project prior to proceeding with
the full entitlement process. This could be an. Exclusive Right to Negotiate, DDA, MOU and/or other
such mechanism.)
• Evaluate alternative disposition options, which could include long-term ground lease of the property.
• Advise during the negotiation process with the selected developer. (This may include additional due
diligence and review of the developer's pro fbirria, recommendations regarding specific deal terms
and assistance in preparing a development term sheet that clearly articulates the key deal terms.)
• Perform sensitivity analyses on residual land value under various assumptions and financing
structures.
0 Retain a cost estimator to evaluate the reasonableness of the hard construction costs.
Retain a design and/or parking firm to evaluate the reasonableness of the•.dcvelopment proposal from
a design and constructability standpoint,
• Perform extensive research and analysis on cost, revenue, financing and other development program
assumptions to further ensure reasonable assumptions and analytical findings.
• Evaluate the proposed project's fiscal, economic and/or community impact.
• Advise on related redevelopment issues and/or preparing City documents as needed.
• Identify and/or evaluate potential funding sources and/or public financing mechanisms for
infrastructure or other componen : ts of the proposed development project.
• Prepare additional analyses, written products or drafts, as mutually agreed upon.
• Prepare presentations and/or participate in additional public or staff meetings (beyond the meetings
outlined in Tasks 1-3).
• Provide other advisory services, as mutually agreed upon.
These additional services will be billed on a time and materials basis based on the attached billing Yates,
upon City's approval of the service and budget amount.
Page 3 1
131. Work Product
The work product of the first phase of this work effort will be defined in Task 1 but is anticipated to
consist of a presentation of findings.
Given the nature of the work program, future work products will be defined as work is undertaken, with
deliverables for each future task mutually agreed upon by the end of the prior task. We anticipate
providing one draft'and one final copy of each work product in electronic (PDF) form. .
C. Schedule
The timeline for this work effort will be outlined in Task 1 and refined as work progresses.
D. Qualifications
Seifel helps clients acquire, sell, lease, evaluate and effectively manage their real estate portfolios. Real
estate economics is the foundation of our work. 'It is a technical discipline that provides insight into the
real estate market through tools such as site analysis, market research, financial feasibility and highest and
best use studies. We combine insight into the real estate market with a technical foundation in pro forma
cash flow modeling, asset valuation and other analytical methods.
We use the analytical tools of real estate economics and urban planning to help owners and developers
determine the best development scenario for a property, such as long-term lease, ownership, joint
.development and short- or long-term sale. Seifel applies the principles of business and real estate
development to'the asset management of properties owned or managed by clients. We evaluate alternative
scenarios to determine whether properties should be retained in their current "as is" condition, upgraded
to enhance their value, or sold.
In summary, Seifel's real estate advisory services include the following:
• Site analysis—Evaluate a property's profile to help assess development feasibility and reuse options.
• Market analysis - Identify the market opportunities for a variety of land uses.
° Financial feasibility and pro forma analysis—Evaluate a property's short- and long-term revenue
potential and how developer/owner risk can be minimized.
• Highest and best use studies—Determine how properties can be developed, repositioned or reused to
generate the most revenue for the owner.
• Developer solicitation, selection and negotiation.. -Develop and manage a property disposition
process to attract developers who can achieve a property owner's key objectives and provide the best
deal terms for a property owner.
• Pttblic private partnersliips—Negotiate with successful development bidders to achieve optimum
terms of sale and development of a property
E. Overview of Compensation
Given the nature of the assignment, it is difficult to precisely identify the budget required to accomplish
the work program as it depends on the level of assistance that will be required. Seifel proposes to bill on a
time and materials basis for Tasks.1 and 2, up to $10,000, with the budget for Task 3 to be determined
based on agreement on the nature of the work product and the amount of meetings required in the first
phase. Upon the completion of Task 3, we will work with the City of San Rafael to outline the remaining
work to be undertaken and propose an amended budget amount, at that time.

Ili Andrea,
I was a little out of the loop on this contract until yesterday.
In the email chain I see a comment that we don't need Professional Insurance and then I was told by Libby we
do?
Reviewing the Sample contract:
- We can cover all the General, Professional and Auto requirements.
- The Professional insurance requirements are very high for this nature of contract. We only currently
maintain $1 M Professional policy, however we also carry a $1 M general Umbrella policy to cover gaps.
I have requested the insurance Certs., we are currently in renewal (4/25/15 effective), and it may take until next
week to receive the new certificates.
Do you have the master contract for me to review, it is not standard for us to bind a Agency/ City until I have a
master agreement with Libby's signature.
Please let me know what is the current need for Professional.
Best,
