Gentlemen:
Pursuant to your joint request, we are pleased to submit our proposal
for an engineering study of the feasibility of conveying the effluent
from the Osa Sewage Treatment Plant to the King Ranch property for
use in irrigating certain grazing lands.
Our study would include all necessary surveys complete with soil
borings to determine the most practical means and route for transport-
ing the effluent, with particular emphasis on the Oso Creek crossing,
soil samplings and testing to determine the suitability of certain areas
for irrigation and locations for storage reservoirs. Our recommenda-
tion would include the method of distributing and applying the water to
be irrigated.
It is estimated that our study could be completed in 60 days, contingent
upon obtaining prompt service from outside technicians.
The fee for this service would be $3500.00, of which an estimated
$1000.00 is to be paid to testing laboratories and specialists in agronomy
for soil testing. Of the total fee, it is estimated that about $1200.00
would be attributable to conveying the effluent to the King Ranch and
$2300.00 to the storage, distribution and use of the effluent on the King
Ranch.
In the event we are employed to prepare detailed plans and specifications
for the project, a credit in the amount of the cost of the preliminary sur-
vey less the costs of contract services of laboratories and other special
technicians will be made against the total engineering fee.
