Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: March 16, 2001
Subject: Request for additional compensation for Sauers Engineering
Please review the attached letter from Keith Knibb Dated March 7, 2001. He is asking
that we consider increasing the compensation authorized to Sauers Engineering for
preparation of the Donner Lake CEQA because they had to do additional work in
revising the documents to eliminate the treatment plant. The first set of documents were
based on construction of a treatment plant and use of a lake intake. So many critical
comments were submitted that we modified the project to eliminate surface water and
use ground water. This required that a new Negative Declaration be prepared and
circulated, thus requiring additional work on the part of the Sauers Engineering staff.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the Board approve the request submitted by
Sauers Engineering for an increase in their authorization of$4,081.76 for preparation of
the Donner Lake environmental documents.

SUBJECT: DONNER LAKE WATER SYSTEM CEQA
Dear Peter:
In September 2000, the District authorized Sauers Engineering, Inc. to provide services
related to the preparation of the CEQA environmental review for the Donner Lake water
system. Based on our proposal, the authorization was for a fixed fee of$6,000.00. This
is typical for District projects requiring a negative declaration. In the case of the Donner
Lake project, however, significant additional work was needed based on a change in
project scope including an amended initial study and negative declaration, and the
recirculation of the documents. I am requesting an increase in authorization to cover the
additional work.
Our actual costs on this project totaled $10,081.76. I am therefore requesting an increase
in authorization of$4,081.76. Included with this letter is the final invoice for this project
which reflects the increased amount. If this acceptable, please process the enclosed
invoice. If this is not acceptable, please let me know and we will prepare a final invoice
for the original amount.
Yo ly,
Keith Knibb
