Subject: Stelling Engineers, Inc. pricing document for Grant
Jane:
I don't have any problem with Activity 1.0 and 2.0 of the pricing document. However, there is some questions about the
PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAM they propose over the duration of the project.
® 1 think that five public meetings might be an overkill since there will be several more in the next (EA) phase.
® The Stakeholders and Landowners meetings will be held the same days as the public meetings, only in the
afternoon so that Mitch Stelling can be involved when he travels over from Great Falls for the evening meetings.
i Instead of starting another web site about the airport, we should publish the fact that we have our own site at
the City, if they want to beef ours up with links to a Master Plan Update, a link to Documents, and a link to
meetings with meeting notes included, we could save some on that.
® The web site can be updated by Stelling on all the links every month or so.
® 1 like the idea that Stelling will take a proactive approach with the Council, Stakeholders, and Landowners.

Fred and Jane,
Attached is the detailed fee estimate/planning cost breakdown. We (Sponsor and Consultant)
need to agree on fee before sending off to the FAA for concurrence.
Our total fee is $99,800 for the revised SOW. I have deliberately set our fee below $100,000
so we do not need to conduct an IFE (which takes time and costs additional money). We are
prepared to live with this fee for the duration of the planning study; we cannot amend the
planning grant. My initial fee for this work was approximately $110,000 prior to the
additional requirements requested by the FAA. Key additions requested by the FAA include: 1)
an update of the specific sites in the original Site Selection Study, and 2) new aerial
photography of the airport. Ideally, our fee would be about $115,000 but for the sake of
timing we have shaved off some cost to get this project under contract soon.
Please review and let me know if you are OK with this estimate. Once I get your concurrence
in fee, I will forward the estimate to the FAA and request their concurrence with fee. Then
we can prepare and submit the grant application. -A�
Thanks

I do not have any further comment regarding the SOW and concur in the revised scope. We also
recommend that the City/consultant contact GPI Airport staff and give them a heads up
regarding the study and development alternatives that may include relocating S27 operations
to GPI.
Please provide our office a copy of the detailed planning cost estimate/task matrix when
available.
thanks,
