An allocation to <br />Task 10 to exactly cover this leaves $7,529.06 remaining for further allocation. <br /> <br />We set up a new Task 12 for the aerial photography work to be done by ITS. The ITS <br />contract cost is $8,892. We spent another $307.37 in labor and expenses getting them under <br />contract. Thus Task 12 would need a budget allocation of $9,199.37. <br /> <br />As can be seen on Exhibit A, we are presently over budget in Task 1 by $2,176.68. <br />This Task is not yet complete but would need a budget allocation of $2,176.68 just to get <br />current. <br /> <br />There is $4,146.21 remaining in Task 11. If we took $3,846.99 from Task 11 and <br />combined it with the $7,529.06 left to be allocated from the contingency, we would have the <br />$11,376.05 needed to zero out Tasks 1 and 10. This would leave us with the $299.22 left in <br />Task 11. <br /> <br />In the interest of completeness, I have attached a second version ("Exhibit B") of the <br />budget tracking form and graph showing the reallocations described above. <br /> <br />At this point I am having regrets about spending contingency funds on the aerial <br />photography. I suspect that the $9,200 spent there would come reasonably close to covering <br />the yet-to-be-incurred costs of producing the final report. Assuming three more TSG meetings <br />and a PAG meeting in Craig, future Task 1 charges would probably run about $4000. Based <br />on the costs of copying and distributing the draft report, I would estimate the direct costs of <br />finalizing the report (50 copies) to be roughly $2000. Actual report revision could probably be <br />accomplished for $3000-$5000 unless a major re-write is needed. So finishing-up costs will <br />probably come to around $10,000 to $12,000 to do things right. <br /> <br />As you know, ITS was unable to get the photography done before the snow came. The <br />late start was largely the result of indecision about whether and how to proceed with the <br />photography. It is now unlikely that the photographs will be available before next spring, <br />about the same time they would have been available if that work had waited to be funded from <br />the Elkhead Feasibility Study. <br /> <br />With these thoughts in mind I would ask that you, Bob, and Sue discuss the possiblity of <br />obtaining an additional $9200 in funding for our study to offset the costs of contracting for the <br />aerial photography. I've worked hard to do this study well and to stay within the budget; it <br />will feel pretty crummy to me to end up eating $10,000 at the very end as a result of trying to <br />help "fast-track" the mapping. <br /> <br />If you can find these funds, I would propose they be distributed between Tasks 1 and 11 <br />and that all other task budgets be adjusted to match final task expenditures. <br /> <br />Let me know what you think. Thanks for listening. <br /> <br />cc: Sue Uppendahl <br />Bob Norman <br /> <br />Hydrosph~re Resource Consultants 1002 Walnut Suite 200 Boulder, Colorado 80302 <br /> <br />l:\'1I0JECTS\,66\T,.",('IU,.r,T\EOClleATEO, JANlJAflY 1, 1~~3 \:30 PM PII'''"",O, .IO~U"y9, "938:34 AM <br />
