Quality Assurance Testing Proposal Village Parkway UPRR Crossing Improvements, Lake Elmo, MN May 12, 2025 AET Proposal No. P-0043606 Page 4 of 6 referenced in the project documents. Daily field reports will also be prepared and made available upon request. ESTIMATED FEES Our services will be provided on a unit cost basis according to the unit rates provided in the attached Materials Testing Estimate. Our invoices will be determined by multiplying the number of personnel hours or tests by their respective unit rates. The rates are from the annual fee schedule for 2025 projects. We have estimated a “minimum required estimate” for the project which estimates the tests needed to satisfy the requirements as defined in the City SMC and the project documents. The “likely needed estimate” is the cost that we anticipate will be required to complete the previously described testing services, based on our experience, and assumed scheduling of the project. Therefore, we propose a budget cost estimate using the “likely needed” estimate for the scope of services for the project as outlined in this proposal. Our “likely needed” estimated fee is $12,707.50. We refer you to the attached Materials Testing Estimate as reference to how we arrived at this estimated cost. We caution that this is only an estimated cost. Often, variations in the overall cost of the services occur due to reasons beyond our control, such as weather delays, changes in the contractor’s schedule, unforeseen conditions, or retesting. These variations will affect the actual invoice totals, either increasing or decreasing our total costs for the project from those estimated in this proposal. If more time or tests are required, additional fees may be needed to complete the project testing services. If less time or tests are needed, a cost savings will be realized. We will not, however, exceed the estimated total cost for the project without first obtaining your authorization.
