existing pipe and not expanding service area, the project should be considered exempt from Section 106 review and we assume this will be the case. Bolton & Menk will produce all required maps associated with the EIW. Projects have historically needed to score at least 40 points to be considered eligible for the PFA program. Applications for the upcoming cycle are due March 1, 2024 to put the City in consideration for the 2025 PPL. While being listed on the PPL does not make the project fundable per say, it informs PFA that the MPCA has reviewed the project and determined it meets the criteria to be considered for the program. Once listed on the PPL, the listing would remain for five years or until the project is funded, without need for re -application. The March 2024 application would require a Facility Plan with the EIW component to be submitted by the first Friday in March. We assume the plan sheets produced coupled with a project narrative will suffice as the project Facility Plan. If the City submitted all of this information by March 1, 2024 and was listed in the fundable range of the 2025 PPL/IUP (which should be approved around the end of September 2024), then the City could move forward with funding certification (plans/spec approval by MPCA, and loan application approval by PFA) starting in the Fall of 2024. The schedule submitted with this proposal intended for project delivery assumes other funding is received sooner than this. However, the City may choose to delay the project schedule to fit this process as it sees fit during the project development process. Should the year within which Bolton & Menk services are intended to be performed, an amended proposal can be provided to account for the respective change. Bolton & Menk's funding specialists will prepare the necessary PFA funding application with required attachments to get the project scored and listed on the Project Priority List (PPL) with the goal of securing CWF for the project. Potential Future Services Not Included & Project Assumptions Through development of the project, Bolton & Menk will work with the City to gauge potential future service needs for: 1. Easement acquisition services, such as survey work, appraisals, and professional acquisition services 2. Modifications or additions to the project specifications, plans, and construction services effort to satisfy external funding secured for the project. The scope herein includes some efforts to assist the City in pursuit of external funding, but the scope of services has been based on use of 100% local funds as the source and associated requirements from external funding are not yet known, and therefore cannot be reasonably scoped. Efforts such as contractor wage rate review, material testing and associated reporting, plan and specification submittal and review to state agencies, and other funding requirements can be added to our proposed scope of services upon receipt of external funding for the project. 3. Construction phase communications services 4. Construction phase soils and material testing PROPOSED FEES A detailed cost breakdown including hours is shown on the attached Detailed Cost Estimate. Our total proposed hourly not -to -exceed fee for this project is $121,084. Respectfully submitted by, Bolton & Menk, Inc. 7/28/2023 Mike Waltman, P.E.
