November 23, 2010 Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Dear Mr. Ferrington: [01 w a t e r e c o l o g y C0111111l111ity We would like to thank you and the Grass Lake Watershed Management Organization's (GLWMO) Board of Commissioners for selecting EOR to assist you in the development of the GLWMO' 3rd Generation Watershed Management Plan. Attached please find a revised work plan, timeline and budget that reflects the changes requested by the GLWMO board of Commissioners. As our proposal demonstrates, EOR has extensive experience developing watershed management plans (WMPs) for watershed districts and watershed management organizations in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Our team has had the experience of developing 3 generation WMPs using 2 11d generation plans developed by other consultants as well as by using plans previously developed by EOR. The EOR team would like the GLWMO Board of Commissioners to understand that this proposal reflects the true cost of the project (e.g. there are no hidden costs that we hope to recover through change orders at a later date) and we are committed to completing the project within the original budget. In an effort to maintain clear lines of communication and to stay within the original scope of work, EOR is requesting that a single point of contact or a plan development sub- committee with technical experience in the watershed management plan development process be appointed. Given the tight timeline for this project and the desire to gain active participation from the numerous stakeholder groups present in the organization, EOR has dedicated Cecilio Olivier, a resident of the GLWMO to serve as the principal -in- charge of the project. Not only is Cecilio aware of the water quality and water quantity issues facing the waterbodies of the GLWMO, he is also aware of the residents concerns with future management of the resources. In addition, a number of the project team members have experience working with the watershed districts and watershed management organizations surrounding the GLWMO. Thank you very much for the opportunity to offer our services. Again, we look forward to working with the GLWMO Board of Commissioners on the development of its 3r Generation Watershed Management Plan. Since kly, C @cilio Olivier, P.E.
