9. Reduction of survey effort due to the fact the County currently <br />owns an appreciable amount of right-of-way which can be surveyed <br />in the most expeditions manner, allowing our sub -consultant to <br />reduce the requested fee. The total break -down for this item will <br />be forwarded to you under separate cover. <br />10. Elimination of need for retention areas through the Grand Harbor <br />area results in a reduction of work effort by the Geotech <br />Consultant. In addition, use of the Grand Harbor DRI drainage <br />design reduces the stormwater pass-through effort to some extent. <br />The total reduction resulting from the above revisions amounts to <br />$212,111.00, bringing the proposed fee (including a "set-aside" for the <br />Geotech work of $23,181.00) to $314,732.00. We understand it is your intent <br />to contract with that entity separately and you will not require that FDOT <br />procedures be rigidly adhered to. The quoted fee for those services <br />anticipates the Geotech will perform only the amount of field and laboratory <br />work needed for a proper soils survey and report. <br />We believe this submittal covers all of the details we discussed at our June <br />3 meeting. If you agree, we are prepared to start work immediately upon <br />execution of the contract and receipt of your authorization to proceed. <br />We appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you and Indian River <br />County and look forward to starting this important project. <br />Sincerely, <br />GLACE & RADCLIFFE, INC. <br />William H. Palm, P.E. <br />President <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked Director Davis if he was <br />comfortable with the price and the number of deletions they have <br />made from the contract, and Director Davis honestly could not say <br />that he was 100% comfortable with the price, but pointed out that <br />the price was negotiated down from $556,000 to $285,825. <br />Chairman Scurlock recalled that back when the engineers were <br />making their proposals on the Grand Harbor project, certain <br />engineers in our community indicated that they could do this work <br />for $200,000, and now the price is $85,000 more. <br />Director Davis did not think those firms had included the 3 <br />connecting roadways in their price. Kimley-Horn was second in <br />the rankings, Post Buckley was third, and McQueen 6 Associates <br />was fourth. <br />L 1 19 28 BOOK 7 <br />
