. ..b.. . ... . Jim Murphy From: "Denny Eyler" <deyler@srfconsulting.com> To: "Jim Murphy" <jmurphy@goldengate.net> Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2008 3:15 PM Subject: Orono Roundabout I was finally able to talk to Scott Pedersen and he talked to his traffic operations people regarding what they wanted to see in the way of an update to the Intersection Control Evaluation report that accompanies the layout. I will forward his-email after this one. Here is what I understand is left to do and our estimated costs to complete those tasks. 1. Update the computer drafted layout with the latest changes to address the layout review memo as we discussed with Jim Grube. From that CAD drawing, we will plot the fastest paths and collect the other geometric inputs needed for updating the Rodel analysis. We will then plot the copies for submittal to Mn/DOT for review and then plot copies for the City and Hennepin County once Mn/DOT approves the layout. Once approval is obtained, we will also create electronic files of the layout, the ICE report and other pertinent items and copy them onto a CD or DVD and provide copies to both the City of Orono and Hennepin County for use at the time of the design of the turn back project. _ $1,800 We will update the ICE report as requested by Mn/DOT by redoing the Rodel analysis for the year of opening (2011) as a single lane, the year 2030 as a single lane and the year 2030 with two lanes each way for old TH 12. Update the Vissim files with the revised geometry and traffic forecasts. Make copies and distribute the updated ICE report. _ $1,800 Finalize the memo with the written responses to the layout review memo, finalize the layout history, and then also prepare a separate memorandum on the safety benefits of the project = $600 The total of these three items would therefore be $4,200. In addition, the work done in September (the bill that you got the other day was for work up to August 31) and the meeting on October 1 total another $4,900. Most this was for my time and included preparing the draft of the layout history memo, preparing the draft response to the layout review memo and then generating several drawings of alternatives, as well as attending the meeting at City Hall and also numerous e-mail and telephone communications with the various agencies. Therefore the total of the work to date that has not been billed and the work needed to get an update layout to Mn/DOT would total $9,100. We are assuming that this layout would then be approved since we are addressing all of the issues raised by Mn/DOT's layout review and known to us as of October 1, z008. These remaining tasks could be probably completed within one week after you give us the go ahead. As always, we would only bill you for the hours actually worked and we would not exceed this figure without your permission. 10/14/2008
