Mr. Eric Volk SEH Proposal for Construction Phase Professional Engineering Services WTP No.7 Expansion February 13, 2016 Page 4 E, SCHEDULE We will begin work promptly after receipt of your authorization. Our expected schedule is identified in the Scope of Services section presented above. Our schedule is developed based upon the scope and schedule set forth in the construction contract documents and is restated below: Phase Description Activity Dates 1 Construction Administration Feb 1, 2016 to Jul 7, 2017 2 Construction Observation Mar 7, 2016 to May 19, 2017 3 Operator Training and Plant Start-Up Jan 2, 2017 to Apr 28, 2017 4 Contract Close Out May 1, 2017 to Jul 7, 2017 F. COMPENSATION Costs for professional construction phase engineering services are dependent on significant factors outside our control, including, but not limited to: 1. Extent of on-site presence desired by the City 2. The contractor's responsiveness, competency, and profit level 3. Weather conditions and schedule adherence We propose to complete the above outlined Basic Construction Phase Services on an hourly basis as laid out on the attached Task, Hour and Fee schedule in accordance with our standard billing rate schedule. We view these efforts and fees to be reasonable based upon our understanding for the level of on-site observation and administrative efforts that are likely to be necessary for this project. Elk River Municipal Utilities may adjust the hours and tasks if need be to meet your interests and project expectations. Assuming a 15-month construction period, and a 2-month project closeout, we estimate labor costs at $131,000 for contract administration, construction engineering and periodic construction observation, plus Reimbursable Expenses. Reimbursable expenses are estimated at no more than $14,953 for the entire construction phase. We understand the total amount of$145,953.00 cannot increase without further authorization from you. O.ASSUMPTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS The following is a list of Additional Engineering Services that will be required for the project along with estimates of cost. 1. Elk River Municipal Utilities will contract with a materials testing company for soil and backfill compaction testing and select special inspections. These services are expected to cost in the range of$10,000 to$15,000. SEH will assist with solicitation of the required testing efforts. 2. The construction contractor will provide plasticity and strength testing of the cast-in-place concrete as part of the construction phase contract. 71
