AYERS, PLS 8111 NC OLD 86,CHAPEL HILL,NC 27516 (PH)919 942~7906 TX)919.942.707© Rich Shaw Oraago Co.Dept of E&RC VIA FAX 644-3351 RE:Estimate for Topographic Survey.Chapel Hill Twp.Park&School Site Dear Rich: I am pleased to present this estimate for the topo&tree location for the 193 acre site Which I surveyed in 2001.As we discussed,this is a very large area for a conventional Topo with one foot intervals and a fairly small minimum tree size.Additionally,the Timbering about 3 years ago has made the forested areas extremely done with Piles of scrap timber.undergrowth,and sprouting stomps from the harvested timber. These factors obviously make the field work more difficult and expensive,especially If the survey needs to be done prior to early November,when the leaves begin to Fall.Therefore I am giving you two prices per acre,depending on when the work would Be scheduled. My rates per hour are still$70.00 for field&$65.00 per my time in the office. Typically I find that a wooded acre takes about 2.5 field hours($175.00)and 1.0 office Hours($240.00)which I round up m$250.00 when I estimate.For an open area,I Use a figure of$150.00 per acre.i have used a ball park of 30 acres for the open area. Therefore,a purely acreage basis: 163 acres x$250.00 per acre=$40750.00 30 acres x$150.00 per acre=$4500.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED"LEAF-ONCOST $45250.00 IF I CAN WAIT UNTIL AFTER OCTOBER TO BEGIN THE WOODED AREA, I WILL CUT MY COST FOR THE WOODED AREAS BY 20%: 163 acres x$200.00 per acre=332600.00 30 acres x$150.00 per acts= $4$DO.Ob TOTAL ESTIMATED"LEAF—OFF COST: $37100.00 As we discussed,if this proposal is acceptable,I would like to work closely with your Staff to begin work on the key arena first,and do the project in stages based on the The areas targeted for building sites,eta
