<br />Mr. Steve Gillette <br />January 27,2006 <br />Page 4 of5 <br /> <br />9) Prepare an estimate of probable construction cost showing each major <br />portion of the proposed gravity sanitary trunk sewer, and each intersecting <br />street's proposed gravity sanitary main sewer. <br /> <br />10) Present the findings and recommendations of the investigation outlined in <br />Items 1 through 8 in a Preliminary Engineering Report prepared under the <br />direct supervision of, and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer in the <br />State of Texas. Include photographs, exhibits, tables and cost estimates. <br /> <br />11) Furnish up six copies of the Preliminary Engineering Report to the City of <br />La Porte for their review and approval. <br /> <br />12) VEl recommends postponing any geotechnical investigation(s) until the <br />design phase. The final locations and depths of the proposed sanitary <br />sewers will be known at that time. <br /> <br />Compensation <br /> <br />Compensation for services rendered will be on a lump sum basis at a cost not to <br />exceed $25,360.00 without prior written approval from the City of La Porte. VEl <br />recommends a budget of $6,017.00 (cost plus 10% mark-up) for the services ofa <br />Registered Professional Land Surveyor to perform the limited topographic survey <br />(see enclosed January 26,2006 proposal from Total Surveyors, Inc.). Direct <br />expenses are estimated at $1,750.00 based on reproduction of 6 copies of the <br />Preliminary Engineering Report at $250.00 each and $250.00 in miscellaneous <br />expenses. The calculation of VEl's fee (by task) and the project's overall <br />$33,127.00 budget are presented in Exhibit A. <br /> <br />Project Schedule <br /> <br />The work will commence upon receipt of the City of La Porte's written <br />authorization. Surveying, field reconnaissance work, records research and agency <br />and utility company coordination can be completed within approximately three <br />weeks of authorization. The service areas can be defined, waste load and In <br />factors applied, base solution determined, costs estimated and a draft Preliminary <br />Engineering Report completed approximately three weeks thereafter. Assuming <br />one week for the city's review, the final Preliminary Engineering Report can be <br />completed two weeks thereafter. VEl therefore recommends a schedule of 60 <br />calendar days to complete the services described herein. <br /> <br />~nDeWiele <br />Engineering <br />Incorporated <br />
