Gloria Tessier From: Justin. Gese <jgese@sehinc,com� sent: Monday, September 12, 2016 2:32 PM To: Robert Uzpen Cc: Gloria Tessier, Justin Gese Subject: Gem Lake Comp Plan - Detailed Cost Est Attachments: Gem Lake Comp. Update -Scope and Fee_1251=PT16.pdf Mayor, Per your request, we have developed a more detailed cost est. for the Comp Plan update. See attached spreadsheet. As 1 stated. in my. previous email,: we would have preferred have some discussion with the City on .deterininirlg what exactly the City wants,. We have had discussion with Ryan Garcia, Met Council Rep, to.get some insight on what is needed. The answers. he gave were vague, but Met Council :is willing to find out what is most important to the City and what the City wants. As you are aware this becomes very difficult for us to estimate our level of effort; and which was a. large part of the issues last. time. He also brought.up the. point that as the market forces make their way into Gem Lake, as we are seeing with the Enclave ❑evelopment, based on the policies any new development will need to be 5 units.per acre: Again this topic was another large part of the issues last time. Also. to note ■ We've reviewed the Septernber 17, 2015 letter from MetCouncil and the only deadline noted in the document is that the updated local comprehensive plan is due to the Met Council for review by ❑ecember 31, 2018. Checking in with Ron Leaf regarding the SWMP (which is a. separate. document that will be. referenced into the comp plan), the SVVMP needs to be:adopted by the City by December 31, 2018. We prefer earlier.. ■ Assuming the SWMP will be on the critical path and that the remaining portions of:the plan will be prepared during the same time, below is our rough estimate of schedule, in order to meet the minimum deadline of December 31, 2018. • One thing to note is that the estimateright reflects FYI .7 rates, so there may be 'increase of:approximately 3 - 56Ie. if the City decides to wait until 2018 to.get:.started. we would prefer to get started much earlier than April if the City would like to have as much input as last time. • April 2018 = Kick. Off Project with City Council ■ June 2018.- Submit SWMP to. watershed districts for review and comment {watersheds will collect comments from MetCouncil} • September 2018 - Adoption of:SWMP by City (after watershed approval) October 2018. - City Council Approval of Draft: Comp Plan (for review submittal) ■. Novem ber/December.20I 8 - Submit Draft Comp Plan to MetCouncil for Review (assuming some wiggle room for holiday season) Total amount of calendar time = approximately 8 months minimum with no delays. This.schedule does not allow much time:for review by the City. Justin M. Gese, PE, LEER GA I Associate SEH 119901 Red.
