As CONSULTANT was completing the first draft for distribution to OWNER staff, CONSULTANT was notified that the parcel identified should not be the only parcel considered. OWNER requested that CONSULTANT undertake substantial revisions to the draft to incorporate an additional two potential locations. This effort required an additional 16 hours of labor to search ownership information, update approximately 6 figures, update report text and review/revise the cost estimate range. The original scope of services assumed that only a single potential site would be identified and evaluated. Additionally, the initial Scope of Services included approximately 8 hours of labor for the review of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) to determine flood zone impacts, if any. Upon evaluation of the FIRM records, it was discovered that the majority of the area under consideration within the SRID was in dispute and no updated FIRM documents were available to make the final flood zone determination. Researching the dispute to complete the evaluation required an additional 4 hours of labor. During the data collection effort, it was determined that a model existed for the SRID (prepared by third party). At the request of OWNER's staff, CONSULTANT obtained a copy of the SRID model to determine if data contained within the model was beneficial for the evaluation. Additionally, staff notified CONSULTANT that a second model for an area of approximately 10,000 acres west of SRID should also be reviewed to determine if additional siting options were available. CONSULATANT obtained and reviewed both models in detail. While the models were ultimately determined to be drainage basin models (no water quality or available quantity data included), the model reviews required an additional 12 hours of labor that was not included in the initial project budget. Last, CONSULTANT initially budgeted for one draft evaluation to be prepared, incorporation of comments received, and finalization of the evaluation. To date, CONSULTANT has provided three draft documents with a final report still pending. CONSULTANT requests an additional 14 hours of labor for incorporation of stakeholder comments, update cost estimates (as needed) and finalization of the analysis. The original Scope of Services did not include specific provisions for reviewing or evaluating Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) as an alternative option. CONSULTANT, however, included information pertaining to the use of ASR wells in lieu of (or in addition to) an open reservoir system. This evaluation included development of proposed well size, well locations, associated costs and regulatory viability. The inclusion of the ASR evaluation required approximately 24 hours of additional labor. CONSULTANT is not seeking additional funding for this effort. CONSULTANT believes that an evaluation of this nature would not be technically complete or comprehensive without inclusion of ASR as an option. TASK 4.0 No change. REQUEST FOR FUNDING ASSISTANCE FROM SJRWMD TASK 5.0 MEETINGS WITH INTERESTED PARTIES AND REGULATORY AGENCIES CONSULTANT has completed all meetings and presentations to date within the original budget estimate. CONSULTANT is requesting an additional 12 hours of labor to accommodate preparation for and participation in a workshop with BOCC and stakeholders to address comments received on the draft report (not anticipated in original Scope of Services). TASK 6.0 PROJECT AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT No change. OTHER SERVICES NOT INCLUDED IN THIS INITIAL SCOPE OF SERVICES No change. A-2 jj1657_Ltr with ExhiW.doc
