Dear Mayor Hurst:
We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal to provide engineering services for
the Colley Park Access Road for the City of Van Buren, Arkansas.
Our fee for Basic Services will be invoiced based on our Standard Hourly Billing Rates as
compensation for services and expenses of principals and employees of Hawkins-Weir
Engineers. The estimated fee for these services is $5,700.00 including Reimbursable Expenses.
Additional services will be provided only upon receipt of written authorization, and these additional
services will be invoiced at our standard hourly rates. A copy of our Standard Hourly Billing Rate
Structure is enclosed.
Reimbursable Expenses and other subconsultant fees are included in the estimated fee
defined above. We anticipate the reimbursable expenses at $1,200.00 for geotechnical testing.
We will invoice you monthly for Basic Services and Reimbursable Expenses. Please be
advised that our Standard Hourly Rate Structure is reviewed annually and typically adjusted in
early August. Reimbursable Expenses will be invoiced in full as they are incurred.
We will commence this work immediately upon your approval of this proposal and
authorization to proceed. If there are changes in scope or protracted delays for reasons beyond
our control, we would expect to negotiate with you an equitable adjustment of our compensation
taking into consideration the impact of such changes and delays.
We have not included in this proposal any services involving construction management or
inspection services and understand these services will be negotiated as needed.
