Re: McHard Road: Country Place to Cullen (FM 865)
Construction Phase Services
Dear Cara:
Please find enclosed two copies of our proposal for the referenced project. We prepared
our budget based on City's Construction Management Scope of Services provided to us.
Per or scoping meeting, we based the inspector's hours on a 10-hour day, 5 days per
week for one year (260 days). We also estimated the project management hours based on
a one year construction duration including bi-weekly progress meeting. Per your
instructions, we estimated our fee for the construction management based on cost plus
fixed fee and lump sums for a bid phase and warranty inspection.
Our Construction Services Team will consist of a fiill-time resident representative, Lucia
Lee, P.E., as a Construction Manager, Nick Kotsatos as Construction Administrator and
De' Borah Alexander for Administrative Assistant. Our lead construction manager,
Winston Silvia, will provide construction-related quality control and any additional
assistance which might be warranted in resolution of construction issues which might
come up during construction. I will also be involved on a limited basis as client
representative and contract quality control and assist in issues which might come up. I
will attend limited meetings.
Ms. Cara Davis
Proposal Lester

We are looking forward to this opportunity to be of assistance to the City on this project.
Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information.

Re: McHard Road: Country Place to Cullen(FM 865)
Construction Phase Services
Dear Cara:
Please find enclosed two copies of our proposal for the referenced project. We prepared
our budget based on City's Construction Management Scope of Services provided to us.
Per or scoping meeting, we based the inspector's hours on a 10-hour day, 5 days per
week for one year(260 days). We also estimated the project management hours based on
a one year construction duration including bi-weekly progress meeting. Per your
instructions, we estimated our fee for the construction management based on cost plus
fixed fee and lump sums for a bid phase and warranty inspection.
Our Construction Services Team will consist of a full-time resident representative, Lucia
Lee, P.E., as a Construction Manager, Nick Kotsatos as Construction Administrator and
De' Borah Alexander for Administrative Assistant. Our lead construction manager,
Winston Silvia, will provide construction-related quality control and any additional
assistance which might be warranted in resolution of construction issues which might
come up during construction. I will also be involved on a limited basis as client
representative and contract quality control and assist in issues which might come up. I
will attend limited meetings.
