In response to your request during our meeting on June 8,
1984, this letter presents our estimate of the costs required
to perform our proposed study of the City of Round Rock ground-
water supply. An additional copy of the outline of the proposed
study, which 2 presented for discussion at the meeting, is at-
tached for reference.
As we discussed in the meeting, the exact work requirements
and costs of the entire study will be difficult to determine
until the first two major items listed in the outline (the basic
data collection and evaluation) are completed. These items will
provide most of the information required in the succeeding items
of the study. Therefore, we propose to perform the study on a
unit rate plus expenses basis, according to the enclosed rate
schedule. For your budgeting purposes, however, the following
listing gives a brief description of the work and our estimate
of the total cost required for each of the major items in the
attached outline.
Estimated
Item Description Cost
2. To compile, review, plot, compare, and eval-
uate the data for the period 1978 through 1984
with City personnel supplying information not
already available in our files and assisting
in obtaining information from local industries
if necessary: $4,000.00
I2. To conduct field checks and make measurements
of water levels, pumping rates, interferences,
and changes with aquifer conditions, (1) with
relatively full -time assistance from City
personnel: $2,000.00
(2) with only intermittent assistance from
City personnel: $3,500.00
Mr. Bob Bennett
-2- June 14, 1984
Estimated
Item Description Cost
III. To determine the quantity of water that can
be produced from the present well system
and the quantity that might be produced from
the system with mechanical and operational
modifications. If these quantities are not
sufficient to meet the City's ground -water
requirements, evaluate the possibility of
expanding the system: $1,500.00
IV. To prepare a report on the activities, re-
sults, and evaluation of the study, with a
presentation to the City including recom-
mendations: $3,500.00
As mentioned above, the emphasis on and work required for
each of the items may change as the study progresses and more
detailed information becomes available. It is for this reason
that we propose to perform the study on a unit rate basis.
However, we agree not to exceed the limit of $12,500.00 without
previous approval from the City.
If you have any questions about the proposed work items or
our estimated costs, please feel free to contact us. I will be
glad to meet with you and your staff to discuss our proposal and
the study.' We are prepared to begin the study within a few days
of receiving written notification from the City.
Sincerely,
TLH:sjb
