RE: Independent Fee Estimate
Kalispell City Airport Master Plan
Dear Mr. Krepps:
(406) 452-8600
Fax (406) 452-8700
EMN: dwtattnet
Enclosed are two (2) copies of our independent consultant fee estimate for the Kalispell City Airport
Master Plan. Our estimate was based on interviews with Tim Orthmeyer of Morrison Maierle, Gary
Gates with the FAA, and a review of the furnished scope of work.
Our fee estimate for the Phase 1 - Feasibility Report is $39,022 and our estimate for the Phase 2 -
Master Plan including ALP is $75,867. Our total estimate for the project is $114,889. Our fee
estimates were based on a projected Labor and General Administrative Overhead of 140% of Direct
Salary Costs. Also, we used a Fixed Payment (Profit) of 12%.
The fee estimate reflects my experience in preparing a comprehensive public involvement program
on the Kalispell Bypass project. The numerous meetings with the Airport Advisory Board and the
public workshops are necessary for any planning project conducted in the Kalispell area. The
general public is accustomed to this level of involvement and will be undoubtedly critical of
anything less.
I have reviewed the ALP recently prepared by Peccia and Associates. From my limited review of
the existing ALP, it appears that considerable work will have to be completed to bring the ALP up
to an acceptable level for FAA approval. Land use planning will be a very critical element in the
development of a comprehensive ALP.
