transfer water from Osprey Marsh to the reservoir, these will be included in the opinion of probable cost The Consultant relies upon the American Association of Cost Engineers' International Recommended Practice No. 17R-97, Cost Estimate Classification System, when preparing opinions of probable cost. The conceptual nature of this effort would be categorized as a Class 5 project (0 to 2 percent design completion). A Class 5 cost estimate typically presents a +100/-50 percent range of accuracy. While this is a large range of costs, it is standard practice for a project for which no design documents have been completed. Consultant will use the opinion of probable cost prepared for the North County Reservoir Feasibility Study as a basis for this evaluation, and will refine the estimates based on the site-specific information obtained as part of this effort. A more precise cost estimate will not be available until the County opts to undertake subsequent design phases. TASK 7.0 SUMMARY REPORT Consultant will prepare a report summarizing information gathered in Tasks 1 0 through 6.0 for the County's use in supporting a recommendation for or against the purchase of the subject property for the purpose of constructing a potable water supply reservoir system. The report will highlight significant requirements for use of the site, such as rezoning requirements, permitting constraints, cost considerations and operational and maintenance considerations, for example. The summary report will also include recommendations for each of the key areas evaluated and ultimately for or against the use of this site as a reservoir location. Consultant will provide County staff with an electronic draft of the summary report for review and comment. Once comments are received and incorporated, Consultant will provide a total of 6 hardcopies of the report for distribution to the County Commissioners and County Administrator. An electronic copy of the final report will also be provided for distribution to additional parties, as appropriate. TASK 8.0 MEETINGS WITH COUNTY STAFF In addition to the meetings listed under Task 1.0, Consultant will prepare for and participate in up to 8 hours of meetings and/or conference calls with staff, as needed. Additional meetings will be accommodated as budget permits or via amendment to this Work Order prior to incurring additional costs. TASK 9.0 PROJECT AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT Activities performed under this task consist of those general functions required to maintain the project on schedule, within budget, and that the quality of the work products defined within this scope is consistent with Consultant's standards and the County's expectations. Consultant maintains a Quality Management System (QMS) on all projects. In accordance with the QMS Quality Procedures, a project planning and scope review meeting will be conducted at the start of the project. In addition, the Consultant's Technical Specialists will perform quality reviews of the deliverables identified in Tasks 1.0 through 7.0. OTHER SERVICES NOT INCLUDED IN THIS INITIAL SCOPE OF SERVICES Consultant and the County agree that there are a number of future steps required to solidify the feasibility of constructing a reservoir system and corresponding treatment facility on the proposed properties The above Scope of Services provides a first step in determining whether or not the subject property is suitable for siting such a system. If the County decides to acquire the property and pursue a surface water storage project, additional information would be required prior to commencing design and construction activities.
