PROJECT COST
JOHNSON ECONOMICS is pleased to present the City of Bozeman with our budget proposal for the work detailed
in our RFP submission. Project costs are outlined in the table below. Each task is listed and given an estimated
number of hours necessary to complete the project. These hours are then broken down between Jerry
Johnson (Principal), Brendan Buckley (Senior Project Manager), and Ian Goldsmith (Associate). Their rates
are $195, $125, and $80 per hour, respectively. These rates are applied to the estimated number of hours to
complete the project to give a total project cost.
Direct expenses such as materials and unforeseen travel expenses are not included in the total project cost. These
expenses are listed as TBD. The City’s RFP requests a “specific not to exceed fixed fee”, which we have included. This
would entail the total project cost plus any other direct expenses that may arise during the completion of this project.
We assume for the purposes of this budget that the final meetings with the Planning Board and City Commission will
be held on separate trips. If these meetings can be held during the same trip, we will work with the City to adjust
the budget accordingly.
Proposed Payment Schedule
Johnson Economics bills on a monthly basis. Bills include itemizations for all work done as well as any direct expenses
that the firm encounters while working for the City. The City will remit payment to Johnson Economics for work
rendered and expenses no later than one month after the date postmarked on the bill.
