LRRWMO Meeting Minutes December 15, 1994 Page 5 Haas pointed out that the JPA addresses that each member city will need ordinances and plans which meet the rules of the Plan, but while Andover already has a WMO plan, other member cities will probably not develop their plan until the LRRWMO update is completed. He added that the LRRWMO member cities work well with each other and he wants that to continue. Obermeyer advised that once the LRRWMO Plan is updated, member cities have up to two years to complete their local plans. Jankowski thanked Beduhn and Obermeyer for their presentation. Discuss RFP Proposals from SEH and Barr En mg Bering Weaver indicated that from his perspective, he supports accepting the SEH proposal with the contingency eliminated, making it $26,000. He added that both aze excellent firms but he was willing to move the SEH contract if they aze willing to accept $26,400 as a not to exceed figure for a full blown study (contingency would be dropped). Jankowski agreed both firms would do an adequate job but he assumed the contingency would be spent since it is a not to exceed price. Jankowski stated he thinks the updated Plan will vary significantly in content from the existing Plan. Haas asked if the work is based on an hourly rate so since it is a not to exceed contract, the actual figure could be less. Jankowski indicated this is correct. Schultz stated he does not think the Plans will differ significantly and no one has indicated they want a significant change from the Plan existing today. He pointed out that the Plan must be updated every five years any way. Jankowski commented that he does not find the existing Plan to be a good guide and it is not something he reviewed very frequently. He hopes the updated Plan will be one that is easily used and implemented. Schultz asserted that cities will use their local plan often but perhaps not the LRRWMO Plan. He pointed out that the updated Plan will basically give guidelines to member cities on how to finish their local plan. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the cost breakdown between the SEH and Ban Engineering proposals and the grant that has been approved for Tasks 1-4. Weaver asked if there was any value in having a second agency involved in the Plan update. He asked if this would give the LRRWMO the benefit of another professional review of this area and the LRRWMO's role in the mission they have. He supported the SEH proposal since it is lower in cost plus provides the benefit of having a second perspective.
