• r • J • The Honorable Mayor & City Commission City of La Porte C September 25, 1974 Page 2 office work required for acquisition of the right-of-way necessary to construct the proposed facility. The special services also include per- forming asoils and foundation investigation. We propose that this work be performed by McClelland Engineers, Inc. Attached please find a proposal from this firm for the investigation required on their project. BASIS OF COMPENSATION For our compensation for performing the basic engineering services described above, we propose that we be compensated in accordance with Section VI. B. of the attached Agreement. The facility described in the Design Summary is a grade crossing elimination which is Classification "A" work according to the 1972 General Engineering Services Manual of the Consulting Engineers Council of Texas and the Texas Society of Pro- fessional Engineers. For our compensation for performing the field surveys for design and land surveys described above, we propose that we be compensated on a reimbursable basis in accordance with Sections VI. D. 1, and VI. D, 9., respectively, of the attached Agreement. We pro- pose that the fee for the design phase be 85 percent of the total fee for the basic services and that payment for the services be on a monthly basis in accordance with Section VI. B, of the Agreement. We propose that until basic design services are complete and bids received, that the monthly billings be based on an estimated construction cost, including 15 percent contingencies, developed in the conceptual study, of $1, 250, 000 as shown in the "Preliminary Cost Estimates" attached to the Design Summary. Design Summary In consideration of the information developed during the investigation made for Southern Pacific to develop the attached Design Summary, we propose that $5000 of the fee paid by Southern Pacific for those services be credited toward the fee for the basic engineering services proposed herein in accordance with Section VI. A, of the Agreement. Using the basis of compensation for the basic engineering services aes- cribecl above and the current estimated construction cost including " contingencies of $1, 250,'000, yields a suggested percentage fee of 7. 35 percent. Using 85 percent of this for the basic design services yields
