Documentation Development $5100 <br /> Development of Wetland Delineation Report of Findings 20 hrs <br /> Development of Habitat Characterization Report 10 hrs <br /> Rare Plant Survey Report 10 hrs <br /> Preparation of Joust Permit Application 20 hrs <br /> Task 4. Client and Agency Coordination During Review 10 hrs $ 850 <br /> Anticipated Eapenses (mileage, documentation reproduction) 250 <br /> Total: $9940 <br /> Fees and expenses will be billed montbly on an hourly basis according to the rates and terms <br /> specified in the Professional Services Contract: my billing rate is $85 / hr, mileage will be billed <br /> at $0.36 /mile; and other expenses will be billed at cost. Only hours actually spent on this project <br /> will be billed, and some savings may be found if actual costs differ from the above estimates as <br /> the project. Progresses. <br /> Please keep in mind, Steve, that the above proposal represents a scenario that requires all tasks <br /> be conducted: wetlands are found; habitat for care species is determined to be present, thereby <br /> requiring sequential surveys; and the project results in unavoidable impacts to wetland resources. <br /> However, it may also be possible that wetlands may be not present within the project area; rare <br /> habitat may not be present, and sequential plant surveys are therefore not necessary; and the <br /> project may be able to avoid impacts to jurisdictional resources. The cost will be substantially <br /> lower than the above estimate. <br /> Timeline <br /> I am prepared to commence services within 7 days following receipt of the signed proposal. I am <br /> committed to ensuring that the work progresses successfully and at a schedule which meets your <br /> needs and those of the regulatory agencies. The rare placrt surveys will begin immediately, in <br /> order to retain their full defensibility. The Office Research will be completed within two weeks. <br /> The wetland field work and habitat characterization will be conducted over the next two weeks. <br /> The Wetland Report and Habitat Characterization will be ready for your review within 6 weeks; <br /> the Rare Plant Survey Report will be ready for your review in September. The Joint Permit <br /> Application will be ready for your review in 10 weeks. <br /> It is hoped that this estimate meets with your needs and expectations. If so, please sign the area <br /> provided below, keep a copy for your files and return the original to me. <br /> Thank you again, Steve, for the opportunity to assist you with this project. I look forward to <br /> working with youl <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael W. Shippey <br /> Principal !Landscape Ecologist <br /> <br /> Attachments: <br /> Statement of Qualifications <br /> <br />
