We propose to complete the following tasks: • Using available LIDAR information, review the existing topography and identify the potential limits of the service area. • Review infrastructure needs including the extents of gravity sewer, lift stations and drain field location. • Calculate flows to determine the needed capacity of the system based on future land uses. • Prepare preliminary cost estimate for the ultimate system. • Prepare figures repesenting a general layout of the proposed system. Fees We estimate the cost to complete the above described work to be $8,900.00. We propose to bill the City on an hourly basis with a not to exceed limit. This estimate does not include any on-site field investigation work to be performed at this time. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Bolton & Menk, Inc. Ryan J.
