RE: Pay Request for the Development Code Update Project and Project Update
Enclosed in this packet is a pay request that consists of a $2,726.25 invoice made payable to Swanson
Haskamp Consulting (SHC)for the Development Code Update Project. Approval of payment will
place the project at approximately 95.4% of the total approved project budget. It is recommended
that this pay request is approved.
Up until this point, the City has spent $34,236.25 on this project. Approval will place the project
total cost at $36,962.50
The original project contract was awarded by the City Council on May 19, 2020, for a total of
$28,750. On December 2, 2020, the City Council further approved an additional $10,000 in
costs to facilitate the implementation of a unified development code with the objective of improving
the code’s ease of use. This has set our maximum approved project expense at $38,750.
SHC will now be preparing the final update to the development code for a public hearing that we
expect to hold Public Hearing with the Planning Commission on May 23rd or May 25th, tentatively.
I have requested that the contractor be prepared to offer an estimate for any additional costs should
the project exceed its remaining budget of $1,787.50. Going slightly over the final project budget is
expected as there is still consultant time needed to finish final amendments and to attend the public
hearing and possibly the City Council meeting where final approval will be considered. Please check
back to your packets for an updated estimate from the contractor.
