Civil Eng;neering Water Resouroes Transporlation Structures Economic Analysis April 7, 2004 Mr. John Joems Assistant City Manager City of La Porte 604 West Fairmont Parkway La Porte, Texas 77571 Re: Pond to Park Design-Revised Proposal Dear Mr. Joems: In accordance with my discussion with you on April 6, 2004, and at the meeting with Nick Finan, Stephen Barr and Robert Cummings on February 18, 2004, CivilTech Engineering, Inc., is pleased to present this revised proposal to provide professional engineering services for the above referenced project. This proposal may serve as a Letter Agreement between the City of La Porte, hereinafter referred to as the "Client", and CivilTech Engineering, Inc., hereinafter referred to as the "Consultant". A General Terms of Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made part of this Agreement. This Letter Agreement presents the background, scope of work, compensation, and schedule to perform the outlined services. Background The Client wishes to convert an existing residential detention facility into a public park/detention facility that allows use by the general public and preserves the existing detention capability of the pond. The detention facility is located near the intersection of Fairmont Parkway and Driftwood Road. A feasibility study was completed by CivilTech Engineering last year and a final conceptual plan was submitted to the City of La Porte on March 28, 2003. The City is interested in a design that generally follows the conceptual plan and allows the improvements to be constructed in phases with basic features constructed first and enhancements constructed at a later date (see attached Preliminary Opinion of Probable Construction Cost). However, the city requested that engineering fees for the basic park package and the engineering fees for the enhancements be listed as separate line items, if possible. It is our recommendation that all construction activities and/or features that involve excavation, fill and grading of the detention basin surface that will impact the detention capacity and the park's ability to function as a detention facility must be included in the basic park package.
