Re. Amendment to the Professional Services Contract

Dear Mr. Verbrugge:
administrative duties undertaken by Andy, we would propose that the retainer
I am writing with regard to the proposed three -year contract extension for WSB's
professional services contract with the City of Rosemount. The original contract, executed
4150'dlson.
January 1, 2002, was originally approved by the Council for a period of two years. The
Mem6rlal._Hrghway
contract does not reference a termination date; however, the Council enacted the two -year
Suite
contract with their approving motion. Because there was not a stated termination date, it

does not appear that any contract wording modification is necessary.
Through our discussions, we have agreed to a three -year contract extension, which would
follow the existing wording in the Professional Services Contract, with the following
clarifications:
1. Rate Schedule: WSB would agree to limit the rate schedule increases on an annual
basis to a maximum of 4% per year through the length of the contract extension.
WSB's rate schedule for 2004 will be held to a 3% or less increase. The rate
a.
schedules are provided on an annual basis.
r
2. Retainer The retainer is currently at $30,000 per year. Considering the additional
administrative duties undertaken by Andy, we would propose that the retainer
remain in the current amount. In light of the current budget issues facing the City,
we would agree to the following payment procedure:
4150'dlson.

3. Development Review Engineer WSB placed a Development Review Engineer at
City Hall in 2003 and would propose to continue that approach through the length
of the contract. This individual was originally planned to office at City Hall three
days per week; however, through this year it has become apparent that a more full -
time position is necessary. We would propose to keep Anthony Aderhold in that
position for the foreseeable future.
We are excited to have the opportunity to continue our relationship with the City of
Rosemount in this capacity. I can assure you that WSB is strongly committed to the City
of Rosemount. We appreciate the staff and Council support in allowing us to execute the
responsibilities of this important position.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 763 - 287 -7190 if there are any questions that I can
address to you or the City Council. Thanks again for your commitment to WSB &
Associates, Inc.
Sincerely, .
WSB & Associates, Inc.
