As a result of the interview process the council has requested a more direct <br />comparison of engineer fees associated with the expected tasks. <br />For consistency in the proposals, the attached exhibit lists the tasks that are considered <br />to be included in General Engineering Services. Based on extensive past experience <br />these tasks have annually taken approximately 1,800 hours, billed on an hourly basis, to <br />complete. For the purpose of determining costs; it is assumed that 900 hours will <br />require a licensed engineer with extensive municipal experience; the other 900 hours <br />can be performed by an engineering technician or graduate engineer. Accordingly <br />please provide the following information: <br />1. List the two personnel that you propose to be assigned to perform these tasks. <br />2. The hourly rate charged for each of the personnel assigned. To determine the <br />estimated total cost, the city will multiply each of the two hourly rates provided by <br />900 hours then total. <br />3. Provide rates for reimbursable expenses not included in the hourly rates. <br />The city recognizes that some of the tasks may involve the use of specialists. The use <br />of a specialist i.e., traffic engineer, is in addition to the above referenced hours. It is <br />assumed that such personnel will be billed on an hourly basis. <br />For accountability purposes, no retainer system or monthly rates will be accepted. <br />All submittals should be returned to my attention no later than Friday, May 20, 2011. <br />600 Town Center Parkway, Lino Lakes, Minnesota 5014-1182 <br />Phone: 651 -982 -2400 a Fax: 651- 982 -2499 <br />
