As I noted in my September 1, 2022 letter the <br />construction phase has taken longer than originally anticipated due to delays in equipment delivery and <br />delays in dealing with Xcel Energy and the new electrical service. These delays have required additional <br />time on our part that was not part of our original scope. We have completed the final close-out <br />documents with the contractor on this project recently and the project should be completed. <br />As I noted in my previous letter, we noted in our June 1, 2020 scope and fee letter the following <br />regarding construction phase services: <br />'Because the engineer has no direct control over the scheduling or operations of the project contractor, <br />construction phase services described in this proposal are estimated based on similar projects and are <br />proposed to be provided on an hourly basis at the rates noted.' <br />We are asking only for additional $5,000 to cover some of our costs for the construction phase services. <br />You had asked for additional backup including hours and dates of service. Attached to this letter is a <br />summary of the total hours and costs we have on this project. These total just over $12,000 and as <br />noted above, I'm only asking for $5,000 to help cover some of my costs on this project. <br />We appreciate your consideration of this request and we are happy that this project has been closed out <br />with the contractor. If you need any additional information or have any questions on the above, please <br />do not hesitate to give me a call at (612) 803-5223. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br />Seth A.
