Revised Arlington Scope and Budget

Will do. And I agree that it is better to have some reserve at the front end so you do not have to go back to Council and ask for additional funds.

Jim: The reserve is a good thing and we discussed this with Council sometime back. Once you have a look at the second cut scope give me a call so we can discuss before our meeting on Friday. Dick

Jim/Dick:

I am out all day today, but Tom will be emailing you our second cut this morning. Also included will be my responses to Dick's comments on the first cut. Please note one item that we have suggested the City include is a management reserve. This allows you to get a contract value slightly higher than our proposed not-to-exceed value approved thru Council, such that you would not have to go back through them if some unforeseen scope change occurs. An example of what a reserve might be handy for would be if you received a STAG appropriation, and had to do a little follow-up NEPA work - that could then be authorized at your discretion from the reserve. For your consideration -

Look forward to discussing some more with you tomorrow -

Chris
