- Mr. Joel Wadsworth July 6,2010 Page 2 in obtaining permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits will be issued. The State has deadlines for responding to applications (30 days to file a request for additional information and 90 days after the application is deemed complete to issue or deny a permit), but neither the Corps nor DERM have deadlines for taking action. Delays are inevitable with these two agencies. Construction plans for the proposed improvements (including drainage plans and calculations) will be prepared by others. These plans will be submitted to DERM to complete the Class I permit application. The paving, grading and drainage plans will be submitted to the SFWMD to complete the ERP application. TASK 2 - MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL CONSULTING This task will allow EAS Engineering, Inc. to perform miscellaneous assignments which may be required but do not fall within the scope of the first task. It is understood that work under this task will be performed only at your discretion and with your authorization. Work charged under this task could include additional site inspections, zoning assistance meetings with agencies, litigation assistance, etc. Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it is best to provide our work for Tasks I (Environmental Permitting) and Task 2 (Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis plus expenses, against a budget estimate. The following professional fees have been established for each of the tasks described above. TASK I - ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING $ 20,000.00 Budget Estimate Time Charged Plus Expenses Reimbursable Expenses $ 3,000.00 Not to Exceed TASK 2 - MISC. GENERAL CONSULTING $ 10,000.00 Hourly as Authorized Not to Exceed Out of pocket expenses (reimbursable) include water quality or soil testing, application and permit fees, surveys by a registered surveyor, or out of pocket expenses listed in Paragraph 2 of the attached General Conditions for Professional Engineering Services. Regulatory agency plan review fees and permit fees are not included in the budgets for any tasks. They are your responsibility. Please note that the budgets for several tasks are budget estimates and are not a fee maximum. Because of ever-changing regulatory requirements, it is difficult to assess a budget for some tasks. Hourly billing is fair for both parties. If permitting goes easily, our billings will not exceed the budget amount; if permitting is difficult, however, our bill for a task could exceed the budgeted amount. Hourly rates and out of pocket expenses will be charged per the rates stated in Paragraphs I and 2 of the attached General Conditions for Professional Engineering Services. Invoicing will be per Paragraph 3 of the General Conditions.
