Re:
Nation Municipality – Limoges Water and Wastewater Project
Project Management Services – Design Schedule Extension
Dear Mary,
As discussed, our existing mandate of $315,430 (reference proposal dated April 22, 2014) was based on
a design schedule of April 2014 to January 2015. 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.
