Turner ColfieOBraden Inc. <br />May 3, 1984 <br />Mr. Jack Owen <br />City of LaPorte <br />P.O. Box 1115 <br />LaPorte, Texas 77571 <br />Re: Fee Summary - LaPorte Comprehensive Plan and <br />Wastewater Collection and Treatment Plan <br />Dear Mr. Owen: <br />PO BOX 13089 <br />HOUSTON, TEXAS 77219 <br />5757 WOODWAY <br />713 780-4100 <br />TELEX 774185 TCB HOU <br />The following is a summary report of the status of expenditures <br />to date and estimated additional funds needed to complete the <br />LaPorte Comprehensive Plan and Wastewater Collection and Treat- <br />ment Plan as of April 30, 1984. <br />Comprehensive Plan <br />Fee budgets, expenditures to date, and additional requirements <br />are summarized on Table 1. Fees expended on the Comprehensive <br />Plan as of April 30 total $159,335. This is $29,905 more than <br />the $129,430 budgeted for this assignment. The three volumes <br />of the Technical Report of this project are now under review <br />by the Review Committee and the City staff. Assuming minimal <br />changes result from this review process, we estimate expenditures <br />of approximately $10,300 will be required to complete this assign- <br />ment including publishing the final Technical Report and conducting <br />one additional Review Committee meeting and one additional public <br />meeting in LaPorte. Based on this estimate, the Comprehensive <br />Plan will cost the consultants`$40,205)in excess of the sum <br />originally budgeted for this assignment. <br />As evidenced by the tabulation on Table 1, most of this excess <br />cost is a result of labor costs associated with Task 1 ($27,554) <br />Task 5 ($5,420) and Task 4 ($3,066), plus expenses for reproduc- <br />tion ($2,138). <br />Task 1 - The Public Information Program was originally budgeted <br />for $15,653 labor cost, plus most of the $3,000 budgeted for <br />reproduction and $2,000 budgeted for Technical Support Services <br />(photography, art work, etc.). While the Public Information <br />Program was always considered a critical element to the overall <br />success of the project, the scope and extent of this effort was <br />expanded considerably beyond the original intent. <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS 0 TEXAS AUSTIN/DALLAS/EL PASO/HOUSTON/PORT ARTHUR COLORADO DENVER/GRAND JUNCTION <br />
