We managed to extend our existing committed fees to cover two additional months to the end of March 2015. At this time, given the current extended design schedule to the end of May 2015, we are proposing an additional fixed fee amount of $66,000 to provide continued project management services, using the same project team, in order to complete the design and tendering of the wastewater treatment plant. This price assumes that the design phase of this project will be completed in May 2015 and the tendering phase in June 2015. This fee also includes continued government relations support from Ryan Kelahear on the project funding front. We have provided a breakdown of this fee for your consideration and hourly rates for personnel if additional scope of work is required. This fee is exclusive of HST and disbursements. We propose a fixed disbursement amount of $3,960 excluding HST that includes mileage, long-distance telephone calls, cell phone charges, and reproduction and delivery of information, drawings, specifications, and other related costs.
