In a previous conversation you indicated that the City would be willing <br />to consider paying additional money for those items which were not included <br />as part of the original work program. I have taken this opportunity to try <br />to explain that the cost overruns experienced on this project involve <br />several different issues and not just those items which were not originally <br />included in the contract. The following, however, is a. list of just those <br />items which were not included in the original cost estimate. They are: <br /> <br />a. Five public hearings $I,000 <br />--b. Solar Element ~_-57~ -- <br />c. Critical Area meetings with EQB 375 <br />d. Meeting with Metropolitan Council 125 <br />~e. Meeting with Councy Planning Staff 75~ ..... <br /> <br />$2,150 <br /> <br />The $2,150 does not cover the expenses resulting from the other items <br />mentioned in the letter. When we ass.ign a cost to these factors we <br />have the following: <br /> <br />a. Inflation <br /> <br />$12,027 - contract amount that was not billed <br /> within the first year of the contract <br /> .15 - inflation factor for 1979 and 1980 <br /> <br />$ 1,804 <br /> <br />be <br /> <br />Turnover in Personnel <br /> <br />5 - number of contact people with City <br />~ - days lost per new person <br /> <br /> 5 - consultant days <br />280 - cost per day <br /> <br />$1,400 <br /> <br />By adding all these items to the original "estimated"contract amount, <br />the revised contract amount more cl'osely matches the-actual cost based on <br />our billing rate. <br /> <br />$22,800 <br /> 1,000 <br /> 2,150 <br /> 1,8O4 <br /> I ,400 <br /> <br />"Estimated" contract amount <br />Park Plan - addition to original contract <br />Items not covered in original contract <br />Inflation factor <br />Turnover in personnel <br /> <br />$29,154 <br />$32,244 <br /> <br />Revised contract amount <br /> <br />Actual Cost Based on WCA Billing Rate <br /> <br />Based on the above information, WCA requests that the total contract amount <br />be amended to $29,154. This additional cost will include: attending <br />another meeting at which time the.Implementation Section.will be discussed, <br />and printing of a document which can be distributed to the surrounding <br />cities and the Metropolitan Council. This figure does-not include any <br />costs related to meetings with any other g~rVerhmental-~gencies, public <br />hearings, or printing reports'that involve colored maps (is option item as <br />per the unsigned contract). <br /> <br /> <br />
