[ J N ) JONES AND NEUSE, INC ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS AUSTIN - HOUSTON - BELTON - CORPUS CHRISTI June 11, 1986 A.C. Gonzalez, City Manager City of San Marcos 630 E. Hopkins Street San Marcos, Texas 78666 Dear Mr. Gonzalez: On behalf of Jones and Neuse, Inc, Kent S. Butler and Associates, Inc., Byrn and Associates, Inc. and Freese and Nichols, Inc., we are pleased to submit this Letter Agreement (the "Agreement") between the City of San Marcos (the "City") and Jones and Neuse, Inc. (the "Consultant") to prepare a comprehensive water and wastewater plan for the Upper Cottonwood Creek Basin. During the past several months we have carefully analyzed the need for this plan, the available data, and the specific circumstances which the City faces in evaluating service options for the basin, including the present and proposed plans for interim wastewater service. By this Letter Agreement, we are prepared to conduct a planning and engineering study which will give the City the most economical and environmentally sound course of action in providing utility services. We believe that this study will be very timely and significant for the City as well as the many landowners who are awaiting the provision of services to the basin. We believe that the special circumstances associated with Cottonwood Creek make our study team highly appropriate for the study. The considerable experience of Jones and Neuse, Inc. in conducting area water and wastewater studies having physi- cal and water quality constraints and permit-related considerations makes the firm ideally suited as the consultant for this project. The longstanding reputation of Byrn and Associates, Inc. in the San Marcos area, particularly in this case, makes their firm an indispensable resource for conducting a workable study for the City. The ready availability of the Freese and Nichols model of the City's water supply system makes that firm an essential member of the study team as well. The water and land use planning expertise associated with Kent S. Butler and Associates ensures that the service plan will support and implement the City's policies and objectives related to land use, environmental planning and fiscal planning. The parties to the study team have worked together successfully on other planning and engineering projects and are organized to carry out the scope of services for this study in a timely and responsive manner. The attached Statement of Interest document presents the management plan which we will follow in conducting the. study. The Statement of Interest document also describes, in detailed outline format, the scope of services which will be performed pursuant to this Letter Agreement. The outline of scope of services is generally in the same format as the final report to be submitted to the City upon completion of the study. 2720 Bee Cave Road Austin, Texas 78746 512-327-9840
