This is a Fee Proposal form (Exhibit B) submitted in response to an RFP for BAS System Upgrades at two Minnesota Department of Corrections facilities. The project, identified as RECS Project No. 78VA0012, involves mechanical engineering services to oversee and manage Network Automation Engines (NAE) upgrades to Series Network Engines (SNE) hardware at the DOC Faribault facility (1101 Linden Lane, Faribault, MN 55021) and the DOC Red Wing facility (608 Main Street, Red Wing, MN 55066). The fee proposal template requires the primary consultant firm and all subconsultants to submit detailed compensation breakdowns across multiple project phases: Schematic Design Phase (15 percent), Design Development Phase (15 percent), Construction Documents Phase (40 percent), Construction Phase Administration and Periodic On-Site Observation Site Visits (25 percent), and Post Construction Phase (5 percent). The form also includes provisions for Code Plan Review and Inspections costs, with a requirement that any actual costs exceeding the proposed amount must be submitted and executed as a change order before work commences and payment is made.

The fee structure distinguishes between costs for the Faribault and Red Wing locations with separate columns for each facility, allowing the total compensation to be calculated as a consolidated figure. Reimbursable expenses must be included within the Basic Services Fee with no markup permitted on subconsultant fees. The proposal does not establish a total fee as a percentage of construction costs, marked as "N/A" on the form. No specific response deadline, award date, contract term, or renewal options are indicated in this exhibit. The document serves as a standardized template for cost submission and requires the submitting firm to provide contact information, including name, address, phone, and email for the primary consultant and all subconsultants involved in the project.
