PROGRAM BUDGET <br /> (PHASE I - IMPLEMENTATION) <br /> In recognition of the work program outlined in the previous chapter, <br /> Northwest has assembled a preliminary budget of expenses associated <br /> with its administration of the program. We have identified the anti- <br /> cipated time and cost for the -first three stages of work and would <br /> propose to complete the tasks within each stage on a time and materials <br /> basis with a total cost not to exceed the maximum estimate for the <br /> respective stage. Due to the uncertainty which exists at this time in <br /> regard to the work items involved in Stage IV, we have not provided an <br /> estimate for this effort. We would be willing to define the expected <br /> costs for Stage IV at a later date and would be willing to'work on a <br /> percentage basis. We would caution the HRA, however, on the percentage <br /> approach. If working on a percentage basis, the Consultant has an <br /> interest to drive up the density or intensity of activity. This may <br /> work against objectives which the City may have. <br /> In the budget summary which follows, we have estimated and would commit <br /> to the budget maximums identified for each stage. In this regard, <br /> however, the number of public working meetings per stage are also in- <br /> dicated. As the Consultant has limited control over the number of formal <br /> working meetings, the number of meetings indicated are a maximum within <br /> the budget for each stage. Any meetings beyond this limit would be <br /> attended at a cost of $150 per session. Another point to be made is <br /> that attorney and bond consulting fees are not included. City services <br /> and salaries are also not calculated. To be noted is that to the extent <br /> possible; these services will be relied upon for copying, typing, etc. <br /> It would be expected that within the overall Phase I budget, these cost <br /> items would be included. It is also recognized that all administrative <br /> costs throughout the entire program cannot exceed the newly established <br /> legislative limits of ten percent. <br /> BUDGET SUMMARY <br /> Stage I 1.20 hours and expenses, plus 4 public $4,000.00 <br /> meetings (this includes computer analysis <br /> costs) <br /> Stage II 100 hours and expenses, plus 2 public meetings 3,000.00 <br /> Stage III 200 hours and expenses, plus 4 public meetings 7,000.00 <br /> Stage IV To be determined <br /> On-Going Activities - Stages I-III 1,500.00 <br /> 14 <br />
