Hi Stacy:

We have received your proposals on the landscape architecture services at the Arlington WWTP and composting facilities. I have also had some follow-up with the City, as initial estimates are higher than they would like to spend. If you would kindly revise your proposals to reflect the bullet items below, which offer some different assumptions than the ones used in your first proposal, I'd appreciate it.

• At the WWTP site, the City desires a scope that would include landscaping/screening on the north side of the facility, to separate from the park along the river that is adjacent to the north. They would additionally like scope to include possible shading around the rest of the perimeter of the plant, which may or may not get added during design (your assumption would be that it would). No landscaping around interior facilities, new or existing, will be necessary.
• At the composting facility site, the landscaping will be nothing more than additional plantings along the west side (entry to the facility), on both sides of the driveway. Nothing else.
• City has stated that they do not want to include an irrigation system for either of the 2 facilities.
• Let your proposal plan on 3 meetings total, two at our office and one at the City. All other coordination/communication will be via phone and electronic.
• For the preliminary design effort at both facilities (commensurate with our 10% design level), we think all that will be required of you will be conceptual sketches. No stand alone pre-design report or other deliverable.
• For the submissions after the conceptual level at both facilities, let's eliminate the 60% and just have 90% and 100% submissions. We would hope that a 90% level is achievable for the landscape architecture plans at the same time that our 60% plans are due to the City. This would be about 8 months after contract execution and project startup, and 5 or 6 months after completion of the conceptual level effort.
• Permitting support can be excluded, as we will handle with the City with our cumulative 90% submittal.
• Perhaps bidding services involvement could be reduced a little, given the simplification of the scope.
  

Thank you in advance for these alterations. I am in between 2 and 4 pm this afternoon if you wish to discuss further.

Chris Kelsey
