H:\ORNO\2021 New Projects\Fee Estimate - PW Water and Sewer Extension - Revised.docx March 3, 2021 City of Orono Attn: Adam Edwards PO Box 66 Orono, MN 55323 RE: Public Works Water and Sewer Extension – Revised Fee Estimate Dear Adam: Based on the City’s request for proposals , we have prepared a scope of services and design fee estimate for the extension of water and sewer service to the proposed public works site. It is our understanding that the scope of the project will include the following: •Extend watermain under Hwy 12 and the railroad by trenchless construction methods. •Extend a sanitary sewer forcemain under Hwy 12 and the railroad by trenchless construction methods. Proposed Scope of Engineering Services To assist the City with this improvement project, Bolton & Menk proposes the following scope of services: Topographic Survey – We will document existing conditions in the areas of the boring pits on each side of the highway and will rely on the highway record plans for the work that will occur within Mn/DOT’s right of way. Staff Design Meetings – Our team will work with City staff to develop the scope of the project and to get input on design details. The goal of these meetings is to ensure that the project is designed consistent with City standards and that the City’s maintenance practices and operations are considered throughout the design process. Detailed Design and Bidding – Once the final scope of the project is determined, Bolton & Menk will prepare detailed plans and specifications for the water and sewer crossings of HWY 12 and will obtain all necessary permits. Our scope of services will not include design of the grinder pump that will be required to serve the site of the new public works facility. Detail design of the pump and controls will occur with the site design for the new building. Upon authorization, the project will be advertised for competitive bids. Bolton & Menk will administer the bidding process and will ultimately make recommendations to the City Council about awarding the project. Fee Estimate Based on the scope of services described above, we propose a not -to -exceed fee of $29,000 to be billed on an hourly basis. Once the Construction Contract is awarded, Bolton & Menk will prepare a separate scope and fee estimate for construction phase services. Exhibit B
