Turner Collie 013raden Inc. May 3, 1984 Mr. Jack Owen City of LaPorte Page Three by the consultants at meetings in LaPorte beyond the four meetings originally planned. A presentation before the Planning and Zoning Commission and a presentation at the third public meeting by these consultants were not anticipated in the original scope of the project. In addition, because of the concern of the P&Z Commission and the Review Committee over the new proposed zoning ordinance, a special section of the Technical Report cover- ing "Administrative Controls" was considered necessary. This was not anticipated within the original scope. As a result of the expanded scope described above, $3,500 in excess of original budget is required to complete Task A. Reproduction - The costs of reproduction are estimated to exceed the original budget by approximately $2,100. We estimate that about $900 of this amount is the cost for the 700 copies of the Brochure Summary Report requested by the City in excess of the 250 copies called for in the original scope. We estimate $700 of this amount is the cost for the 20 review copies of the Technical Report which were not originally within the project scope. The remaining $500 is the result of the expanded Technical Report discussed under Task 1 above. Total Cost Due to Expanded Scope To summarize, we estimate that approximately $30,600 of the $40,200 which the Comprehensive Plan is estimated to cost in excess of the $129,430 originally budgeted for this assignment is a result of the expansion of the project scope beyond that originally budgeted as follows: Task 1 = $25,000 Task 6 - 3,500 Reproduction - •2,100 $30,600 The remainder of the excess cost resulted from our underbudgeting of the original scope of work.
