Phase 200 – Wisconsin DNR Artificial Wetland Exemption - $2000.00 a. MSA will author and submit an artificial wetland exemption application for wetlands delineated within the project area as part of Phase 100 that are judged to likely have resulted from past human activity as opposed to occurring under natural conditions. i. Prior to a full exemption submittal MSA will conduct a preliminary desktop review of available historic resources to judge the potential for specific delineated wetlands to receive an artificial exemption. If professional judgement estimates exemptions are likely an exemption application will be submitted. b. MSA will provide the OWNER with a PDF of the exemption application materials. c.

BEGIN PROJECT AT OLD CTH PB END PROJECT APPROX. 400' WEST OF WILDCAT WAY MILITARY RIDGE STATE TRAIL June 23rd, 2026 Joe Jirsa City of Verona 111 Lincoln Street Verona, WI 53593 RE: Prestressed Girder Fabrication Quality Assurance Oversight of Structure # B-13-961 Dear Mr. Jirsa: Behnke Materials Engineering, LLC (BME) is pleased to submit the attached proposal for quality assurance oversight, fabrication inspection, and reporting services associated with the fabrication of 126 prestressed concrete girders for Structure B-13-961. The girders are anticipated to be fabricated at County Prestress in Janesville, Wisconsin. Based on the information provided to date, the project is anticipated to consist of 126 36W prestressed concrete girders with spans of approximately 96 feet. The attached estimate has been prepared using the same actual cost-plus fixed-fee methodology used on Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) contracts. BME has extensive experience providing oversight of prestressed concrete fabrication throughout Wisconsin. Bob Bemis, PCI Level III inspector and BME’s lead prestressed girder inspector, has performed quality assurance oversight at the County Prestress facility in Janesville for more than thirteen years. During that time, Mr. Bemis has provided fabrication oversight and reporting services on numerous WisDOT bridge projects involving prestressed concrete girders of similar size and complexity. Services anticipated under this proposal include: • Quality assurance oversight of prestressed girder fabrication and prestressing operations. • Review of fabrication activities, quality control documentation, and compliance with project specifications and approved shop drawings. • Witnessing of concrete placement operations and cylinder compression testing reports as required. • Preparation of fabrication reports and coordination with the fabricator, owner, and project team. • Pre-shipment inspection, final measurements, and documentation of girder dimensions and fabrication tolerances to verify compliance with project specifications prior to shipment. Due to the nature of prestressed concrete girder fabrication, quality assurance oversight requires regular on-site presence throughout production activities, including prestressing operations, concrete placement, fabrication verification, and project documentation. This proposal is based upon the preliminary fabrication schedule provided by County Prestress and an anticipated production duration of approximately 42 fabrication days of 126 girders. Based upon the anticipated fabrication schedule and scope of services, BME estimates these services at a not-to-exceed amount of $74,594.04. As with our WisDOT contracts, the attached estimate is presented as a not-to-exceed amount. BME will invoice only for actual labor hours and expenses incurred during performance of the work. Should fabrication schedules, production quantities, or project requirements change significantly, any adjustment to the estimate fee would be discussed and approved in advance. The attached fee estimate provides a detailed breakdown of anticipated labor-related costs and associated services. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these services and look forward to working with the City of Verona on this project. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this proposal. We would be happy to discuss the proposed scope, level of oversight or any project-specific considerations as the city evaluates this proposal.
