Attached are the “Distribution of Design Fees” that I prepared for the two projects (Vitruvian Way Realignment and Spring Valley Road Improvements). I don’t see anything that you could say is out of the ordinary on either of these. The preliminary engineering work we did for Spring Valley ($33,350) is what is putting us at a higher percentage of cost. This preliminary work consisted of Master Planning activities that included the preparation of numerous layout options for presentation to DISD, and preparation of Alta Surveys of the convenience store site and UDR’s property, items that would not normally be a part of standard design fees. I will think this through a little more but there isn’t a whole lot of places to cut money. Our design fee for all of Spring Valley is only $96,600. Our sub-consultants and construction phase services make up the bulk of the fee. ________________________________ From: Clay Barnett [mailto:cbarnett@addisontx.gov] Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 2:44 PM To: Bruce Dunne Cc: Nancy Cline Subject: Proposal Bruce, I reviewed the proposal submitted on February 15, 2010 for Professional Engineering Services for the improvements to Spring Valley and the intersection with Vitruvian Way. Here is a summary of the proposals awarded to date for this project: $33,350 for Preliminary Engineering $118,775 for the Design of Vitruvian Way This fee proposal is for $209,985. Totaling these yields $362,110. The total estimated cost of the project is $2.7 million. Based on the estimate, the professional design services are 13.4% of the construction costs. We cannot take a proposal to council of this magnitude. Please examine the proposal and see what can be done about reducing the costs. If you have any questions, please let me know.
