Re: Proposal for Professional Engineering Services
Butternut Hill Subdivision
Water District Extension
JM 04-154
Dear Ralph,
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal for professional services to assist the Town with a
water district extension to serve the Butternut Hill Subdivision. As we discussed, this proposal is for a
feasibility study to complete the extension, and detailed work to prepare the District Extension Report for
filing with New York State, including the metes and bounds description, would follow as additional work
depending on the outcome of a public hearing. Our scope of work to complete the district extension
feasibility review is as follows.
?
Obtain GIS/tax mapping, and mapping from the Town of the existing water system, for purposes
of developing a district extension map
?
Field reconnaissance to locate existing visible utilities and site features
?
Layout water system within subdivision
?
Prepare cost projections for construction, benefit taxes, and users fees
?
Prepare a water district extension feasibility report for submission to the Town including project
description, and costs
?
Complete a SEQR Short EAF for inclusion with the report
?
Attend a public hearing scheduled and coordinated by the Town
We have estimated that the above scope could be completed in 43± hours of professional service, and our
fee for that involvement would be approximately $3,000, plus out of pocket expenses such as printing,
mileage, postage, photography, etc. We would anticipate that a project of this nature would not have
significant expenses except for possibly printing, and we would allocate approximately $200± for that
purpose. You would be billed for time and expenses incurred up to the authorized amount; should the
scope or extent of the project exceed our scope and expectations, we would discuss that with you and the
Town Board.
If you have any questions regarding this proposal, please contact us at 792-2907.
Sincerely,
Jarrett-Martin Engineers, PLLC
