7C, Scope of Services as Proposed in the letter from Mike Comodeca

Home Browse Search

Scope of Services The attached letter from Mr. Comodeca outlines in detail what the scope of services includes. The potential scope of services covers a number of topics related to the transfer or sale of the TCAAP property as well as the Natural Resource Damage Assessment. As the process moves forward and decisions are made, some of the services may not be needed and others may expand. Staff would work closely with Mr. Comodeca and provide assistance where possible to help reduce costs. Bud et As noted above, RRLD had been responsible for the costs associated with Mr. Comodeca's services prior to the end of the negotiated sale process. The new scope of services would be paid for by the City. Up to $65,000 is available in the existing Planning & Zoning budget for these services in 2009. The draft 2010 Planning & Zoning budget includes another $65,000 for consultant assistance. As part of the scope, Mr. Comodeca has provided a rough estimate for the number of hours that may be needed for each activity. His hourly rate is $320. Based on the minimum and maximum number of hours estimated by Mr. Comodeca, the cost could range from $88,640 to $164,800. As the TCAAP process becomes more defined, it will be easier to estimate the cost of services. Since there is some ambiguity the extent of the services needed by the City, staff is recommending a budget cap of $50,000. This request is not a blanket approval of all services in the scope of services letter. As the project moves forward, the services needed and budget will be evaluated.
