1. Road Dept contract amendment-Co Rd 17 right of way

County Engineer April 16, 2007 Page 2 6. 100 feet of right of way should be acquired on each side of the centerline in platted areas except where existing developmcnt makcs it impractical. Those areas should be lookcd at on a case by case basis considering both short and long term requirements. 7. The interim project should be designed to fit within the existing right of way if practical in un-platted areas with the expectation that future right of way needs will be dedicatcd at the time of platting, When the County first entered into a contract with SRF consulting, we wcrc planning on completing thc project in 2007 so it was on a very fast track. For this reason, I believed we would not have the staff time to acquire the right of way necessary in time to allow for 2007 construction so I included that work on SRF's contract. Now that the project will be built in 2008, I believe our county staffincluding myself could take on much of the right of way acquisition work in-housc. I don't in any way intend to suggest that SRF's not to exceed proposal amount is unreasonable, I do believc the 2171 hours estimated to complete the right of way work is a reasonable estimate of the number of hours required regardless of who does it. SRF's proposal also includes subcontracted appraisal services. The proposal included using RM Hoefs and Associates at a cost of$140AOO. I've asked SRF to solicit other proposals for the right of way appraisals. I understand they have done so, but l' nl not prcpared to makc a recommendation on which appraiscr to use as of the time of this writing, Summary of design and right of way services estimates: priginal contrj~,~t.,with 15 parcel~ Dcsign 2202 hours Right of way services 741 hours Appraisal Services Other direct non salary expense Total not to exceed price ReyJ~.~,g proposal with 52 parcels Design 2276 hours Right of way services 2171 hours Appraisal Services Red River Title Services Other direct non salary expense Total not to exceed price $175,362 $68,024 $20,500 $24,260 $288,146 $183,902 $200,402 $140,400 $13,425 $27,368 $565,497 By using in~house staff for much of the right of way work, the cost of the appraisals will still go up from the $20,500 listed above. HO\'vever, cost of the right of way services should be at or below the $68,024 original amOUl1t above. I ,M!nm.f.llr,',(.'om!l'.Rii\:~ (~H.p'.JI.l(fl Co~:nli$:\.wr.
