Both projects are stormwater funded, both are habitat enhancement projects. <br /> <br />In short reasons for this shortage include: <br />? <br />Length of time this partnership with the Corps has gone on far exceeded anyone’s expectations by at <br /> <br />least 8 years. This results in administrative costs, and start and restart-up costs, at least 3 major <br />redesign efforts, material storage expenses, orienting new staff to the project and similar activities. <br />? <br />Changing regulations and information – specifically additional work w/ ODFW to discuss the new fish <br /> <br />protection regulations, but also incorporating new ideas about enhancement work as we have learned <br />as we go along. <br />? <br />Additional permitting work – bringing on consultants to get additional DSL permits <br /> <br />? <br />Additional surveying work, design work etc as ideas morphed with time. <br /> <br />? <br />Increasing PSF hourly rates over the last decade <br /> <br /> <br />Right now we are $130,015 short but I am estimating before the project is complete we will be at least $220 k short. <br />Some reimbursement from the Corps on excess match will help with the additional shortage but for this April 30 rollover <br />funds from job 3531 will be most appreciated. <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for your consideration of this request. I enjoy our partnership on this project and your expertise and <br />creativity. I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible. <br /> <br />Michelle <br /> <br />6855 <br />x <br /> <br />Messages to and from this e-mail address may be subject to disclosure under Oregon Public Records Law. <br />2 <br /> <br />
