LRRWMO Meeting Minutes December 15, 1994 Page 6 Jankowski noted that the Barr Engineering proposal maybe more tailored than from SEH. Ferguson did not think this would be the case since both firms are taking a similaz approach with one-on-one meetings with each member city. He added that with the way the rules aze stated, there is not much room for maneuvering anyway. Ferguson stated he has worked with SEH with Six Cities' update and found it works well. He reviewed their process in which they attended meetings, provided new update checks for review and are progressing at a steady pace. Ferguson stated he would have no problem with either one with respect to capabilities. Schultz commented on the extensive library facility which Barr Engineering has which includes storm water data, etc. He stated he has no problem with either proposal but indicated support for the SEH proposal since they came in with the best price. Schultz pointed out that Barr Engineering would still be the WMO engineer and could review the plan and provide input. Motion was made by Weaver, seconded by Haas, to accept the SEH proposal contingent upon the following: 1. Eliminating the $2,600 contingency, 2. Total project costs not to exceed $26,400, 3. Work to be billed on an hourly basis, and 4. Billing should document individual work tasks to facilitate grant reimbursement for Tasks 1-4. Jankowski explained his main concern is the difference in cost for work tasks 1-4 involved with data collection which also qualify for Grant reimbursement. He noted that Ramsey will have to spend more to update their local plan and add missing data if it is not included in the LRRWMO Plan update. Schultz questioned whether the LRRWMO should be paying to provide this type of data, and suggested that perhaps it was the responsibility of the member city since other cities have already paid to update their plan. Jankowski asked if one Plan provided more data collection than the other. Ferguson did not believe so since it will be based on what the LRRWMO is asking for. Jankowski asked if assessment of the data could be an issue. Ferguson did not think so and felt either company would do a good job. Weaver reviewed Task 1 as detailed by Ban Engineering and noted it states they will be using existing data. He concluded the LRRWMO will not be getting any more from one than the other.
