Our <br />budget reflects a reduced cost to the City provided that past research results <br />are supplied to this consultant. <br /> <br />Table 1 also includes two optional steps. Although we recommend the City use <br />our assistance in steps 7 and 8, we provide you the option of completing these <br />tasks yourself. <br /> <br />Project Budget <br /> <br />Estimated charges for each phase of the proposed study and evaluation are <br />included in Table 2. Ail estimates are based upon the current understanding of <br />this consultant. Final fees will be based upon a negotiated detailed work <br />program developed in cooperation with the staff of the City of Ramsey. This <br />consultant's average hourly rate is $35.00 per hour. Other charges are <br />included for report typing, editing, layout and subcontractor fees. The total <br />project budget, including optional steps 7 and 8, is $6,550. The total without <br />steps 7 and 8 is $5,100. <br /> <br />Study Schedule <br /> <br />The process and approach identified in the Work Program and Objective section <br />is a fairly short duration project under normal conditions. We propose to <br />complete steps 1 through 6 in the Work Program within a period of 60 days, <br />unless the staff wishes to review major products of steps within the process. <br />Upon completion of the bid documents, the consultant would propose to follow <br />the schedule proposed by the City of Ramsey in completing steps 7 and 8. We <br />would be available to move as rapidly as desired by the City. However, we <br />recognize that numerous approvals by the City Council and bid notification <br />requirements do exist, which will place delays on the rapid completion of these <br />tasks. Upon receipt of submitted bids and proposals from vendors, this <br />consultant could work with City staff to complete steps 7 and 8 within a period <br />of 30 days. <br /> <br />Qualifications and Experience <br /> <br />The Firm <br /> <br />Gunnar Isberg and Associates, a management and planning consulting firm, <br />headquartered in Northfield, Minnesota, has been in existence since September, <br />1980.
