On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br />Mr. Grindberg left for the remainder of the meeting. Mr. Piepkorn asked if contractors previously put on standby have been reactivated. Mr. Shockley said it is his understanding that the Corps contractor for the diversion inlet has been notified to recommence mobilization. <br />Ernst & Young Statement of Work Mr. Shockley said a past work order with Ernst & Young has expired. Statement of Work 5, Amendment 0, assumes a full P3 start-up and will allow work to be completed on a new financial plan to incorporate recent funding updates. <br />Mr. Shockley said services are billed as requested, and this work order is included in the FY2019 budget. Hourly rates have not changed from last year and rates are consistent with the market. <br />The Finance Committee recommends approval.

On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br />2019 Braun Intertec Corporation billing rates Ms. Daily said the Braun Intertec rate increase was tabled at the March Finance Committee meeting with a request for justification on the rate increase, to which Braun Intertec provided a <br />letter. Braun Intertec has not received a rate increase since 2017 while increasing employee wages and benefits annually, in addition to the increased costs of goods and services. The Finance Committee recommends approval. MOTION, passed Mr. Steen moved and Mr. Jacobson seconded to approve the Braun Intertec 2019 rate increase as presented. Discussion: Mr. Paulsen asked if there should be a policy to escalate yearly rate increases based on a benchmark as the requests are frequent; and if contractor increases are included in the overall program budget. Ms. Daily said escalations for contractor rate increases are included in the overall program budget, and each entity is allowed to request an annual rate increase as outlined in each contract. Mr. Campbell said he assumes all contracted services were initially bid out and at what point services must be re-bid. Ms. Daily said typically when procuring consultant services the initial rates are negotiated based on qualifications; subsequent rate increases must be requested and approved. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
