WORKPLAN <br /> The following tasks and budget are based on known costs and project needs at the <br /> time of the restoration agreement. All parties,prior to implementation,will agree <br /> upon additional future tasks.Work units are shown in Figure 11. <br /> RESTORATION SCHEDULE AND COST ESTIMATES <br /> A general time frame is shown in Table 3,but note that the year for any given task <br /> may shift, depending on when the project starts. Note also that that the costs shown <br /> are estimates,based on similar work at other sites,but actual costs may be higher or <br /> lower. <br /> Because of the simplicity of the site,the work units are referred to by their land <br /> cover name (prairie,grassland, or floodplain forest). Undertaking the recommended <br /> restoration project in this plan will be a significant task,and assistance is available <br /> to help landowners with the process. Friends of the Mississippi River will continue <br /> to work closely with the landowners,if desired,to secure funding and implement all <br /> or parts of the management plan. FMR can hire and oversee contractors such as a <br /> professional firm listed in Appendix D. <br /> Table 4.Restoration Schedule and Cost Estimates <br /> These tables are rough schedules and approximate costs for restoration and management <br /> tasks for the Bailey Point Nature Preserve.Both the project tasks and costs are likely to <br /> change as the project progresses-these tables should be used only as rough guides. Tasks <br /> were phased,with 1 being the highest priority.
