RE: Weld County Roadway Classification Plan
Proposal for Supplemental Services; GASB 34 Support
Dear Mr. Hempen:
Pursuant to our recent correspondences, Felsburg Holt & Ullevig is pleased to submit this
supplemental proposal to the County for additional services relative to the Roadway
Classification Plan. Specifically,this proposal is intended to quantify the infrastructure assets
of the County's roadway inventory and the major structures. This in support of the accounting
requirements as required by the Government of Accounting Statement Board's Statement 34.
We can make use of the information that we are using in the preparation of the County
Roadway Classification Plan. Based on our knowledge of the GASB 34 and from our previous
discussions, we propose to conduct the following tasks:
1. Translate the County's roadway inventory database into a format which lends itself to
a series simple spreadsheet calculations.
2. Using available cost data, develop average current-day per-mile roadway costs for
roadways of varying lane width and type (paved or unpaved) and shoulder width and
type (paved or unpaved).
3. From County records, obtain data relative to County costs of major rehabilitation of any
roads. For the specific road in which data are available, the year in which the major
rehabilitation was conducted will be considered the acquisition year relative to deflation
and depreciation.

4. For each roadway segment in which major rehabilitation costs are not available, apply
the appropriate per-mile costs to the spreadsheet inventory to estimate each segment's
current value. Deflate these costs to an agreed upon acquisition year for the purpose
of reporting the "initial amount" of infrastructure assets. The research indicates that
an acquisition year that dates back no more than 25 years (1976 for this effort) should
be used in reporting infrastructure amounts.
5. Sum all of the deflated asset estimates from items 3 and item 4 as well as the
depreciation amounts calculated for each roadway segment.
6. For the County's major bridge structures, estimate a current-cost value of each
structure based on the type of bridge and an average per-square-foot cost for the
specific type of bridge. Necessary data to conduct this effort are readily available from
CDOT.
7. Based on the age of the major bridge, deflate the current-day cost to an acquisition
year cost based on the year of construction, not to be earlier than 1976. Depreciation
of the major bridge will be determined using an estimated life span.
8. Sum all of the deflated estimates, as determined in item 7 above, to develop a total
major structures asset dollar figure. The depreciation amounts of each major structure
will also be summed,
9. Prepare a brief report which documents all road and bridge data, cost rates, deflation
rates, depreciation assumptions, and the total asset values of the roads and major
bridges.
We propose to conduct this effort on a time and materials basis. Under this type of
arrangement, we are compensated at hourly rates for all labor, and other direct costs are also
reimbursed; this is consistent with the current Roadway Classification job that we are
conducting for the County. The following are hourly billing rates per the Roadway
Classification Plan contract:
Principal II S 130.00/Hour
Principal I 012O.OO/Hour
Associate $110.00/Hour
Sr. Engineer S95.00/Hour
Engineer III $80.00/Hour
Engineer II $65.00/Hour
Engineer $60.00/Hour
Senior Bridge Designer $80.00/Hour
Senior Designer $65.00/Hour
Designer II $55.00/Hour
Designer I $50.00/Hour •

At these rates, we have estimated that the above scope of services could be completed for
a maximum budget of $19,000. This amount would be a supplement to the current contract
with the County relative to the Roadway Classification Plan effort. As such,the total contract
amount would increase to $59,000.
As a potential additional task, we would be willing to estimate the value of the County's minor
structures. These data are not readily available from CDOT, and we would need to spend
some time reviewing the County files for pertinent information. As such, an optional task is
as follows:
10. Visit the County offices and review available data on the minor bridge structures. Upon
extracting this information,we would conduct tasks 7 and 8 above and incorporate the
results into the final documentation. Assuming that there are approximately 350 minor
structures, we could add this task for an additional $6500 above and beyond the
budget amounts mentioned above. This would only be conducted upon your request
and billed at the same hourly rates.
If you the conditions of this supplemental proposal are acceptable to you, please use this letter
as a referred attachment for the contract supplement paperwork.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
FELSBURG HOLT & ULLEVIG
