RE: BUDGET UPDATE AND AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT
1998 TRAIL PROJECT
Dear Mr. Hoffman:
,-
We would like to take this opportunity to update you on the engineering budget of the above
referenced project. We have invoiced the City the following amounts through the end of
November:
Design Phase (Hourly not-to-exceed, $73,800)
Final Design
Wetland Delineation and Permitting
$47,742.13
$6,657.50
$54,399.63
Sub-Total Design Phase through 11/30
Property Acquisition and Public Process (hourly basis, $22,400)
Public Involvement
Easements
$3,456.86
$12,898.90
$16,355.76
Sub-Total
The $22,400 original budget for property acquisition and public process is part of a total hourly
budget of $55,900 that also includes construction staking, inspection, and administration.
Based on the current project design, anticipated clear zone requirements, and prescriptive rights
issues of Carver County and Mn/DOT we anticipate a much greater effort on our part then
originally estimated for preparation of easements for this project. We originally estimated a fee
of approximately ~(14,000 for the preparation of easements. This was based on preparing 20
easements at a cost of $500 per easement, with another $4,000 for plat research and
coordination.
At this stage in the project, we are anticipating preparation of approximately 95 easements,
according to the table below. Based on the above estimate of $500 per easement, we
anticipate costs for preparation of the easements alone to be $47,500. Below is a total estimate
of our anticipated costs for easement preparation:

$10.000
$65,000
Sub-total
We also anticipate additional labor and expense efforts for the public involvement portion of this
project. This task includes public correspondence, follow-up, and individual and neighborhood
meetings. We originally budgeted $8,400 for this task, including public meetings and providing
information to the City for mailings to property owners. We anticipate that we will require an
additional $9500 to complete this task for a revised estimated budget of $17,900. These
expenses are due to the large volume of individual responses to residents along the proposed
segments. To date, we have sent out over 50 memos of information to residents. We continue
to receive regular phone calls from residents that require a response and documentation. We
anticipate that this effort will continue throughout the duration of this project.
The above changes would result in a revised scope of work for hourly services of $116,400.
The design phase of the project remains at $73,800, for a total revised fee of $190,200.
We would like to talk to you about this proposed revision to the contract. Please give us a call
after you have had time to review the above information.
Sincerely
Howard R. Green Company
