Our cost estimate is based on our scope of services and schedule, and the following assumptions: • The cost estimate is valid for up to 180 days from the date of submittal, after which it may be subject to revision. • Costs have been allocated to tasks to determine the total budget. A "not to exceed" dollar amount for each of the tasks are provided except where indicated as a "Fixed Fee." • If additional meetings or site visits are requested or additional work beyond the allowances described herein are required, such meetings and work would require an amendment of the budget. • Reimbursable expenses are estimated and will be billed at actual cost, plus 15 percent administrative charge. • Additional review cycles or additional versions of administrative drafts of any documents beyond the assumptions contained within the scope of work will constitute additional work. • Subconsultants may be substituted at EPD's sole discretion. 2 As discussed in the kickoff meeting,the City would like reports to be prepared for both the Fiscal Impact Analysis and Economic Impact Analysis.The initial proposal cost covered preparation of one report. In order to cover preparation of both reports,additional budget would be needed outside of EPD's original scope of work contained in the proposal submitted on April 11, 2024.
