• TurnerCollie~Braden Inc. June 20, 1985 City of La Porte P.O. Box 1115 La Porte, Texas 77571 Attention: Mr. Jack Owen Re: EPA Municipal Wastewater Compliance Plan Turner Collie & Braden Inc. Job No. 11-00014-010 Gentlemen: CONSULTING ENGINEERS PO BOX 13089 HOUSTON, TEXAS 77219 5757 WOODWAY 713 780-4100 TELEX 774185 TCB HOU On June 10, 1985, Turner Collie & Braden submitted to the City of La Porte an engineering proposal concerning the preparation of a Municipal Compliance Plan for submission by the City to EPA and TDWR. As a result of subsequent meetings with the City staff, we were asked to prepare an expanded explanation of the scope of services and possible ways in which the cost could be reduced. This information is presented below. Our approach will be to prepare a cover letter with copies of published waste- water facility engineering reports as attachments for submission to EPA and TDWR. This letter is intended to serve as a substitute for the engineering summary report requested by the EPA. If this is not acceptable to EPA, then a separate summary report will have to be prepared as proposed in our scope of services. We also propose to submit a simple schedule and bar chart instead of a formal critical path schedule for item No. 4 in the scope of services. Again, if this proves unacceptable to EPA, a formal critical path schedule will have to be prepared. We believe that our proposed approach will be acceptable to EPA, and, if so, the cost will likely be approximately $3,000 less than the requested authorization. In any event, we have included costs for meeting with EPA to establish scope and present the results. Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please feel free to call.
